Overflow bY Shifting
An interactive fiction experience
The first outcome of 'Shifting', is a digital, interactive fiction based on realistic climate scenarios and their implications on human life. The current story represents a scenario that takes place somewhere on an island in the Pacific Ocean, and is built from a multi-layered script with a large number of different plots and endings. The experience throws the user into an extreme climatic reality and confronts them with various dilemmas and choices. The user can navigate within the plot, and influence its development through decisions they take. Each decision shapes a personal profile for each player that is revealed at the end of the experience.
This project aims to empower the participants with a sense of capability of facing a dystopian future, and to raise awareness of the global climate crisis.
