ReelLife

Have you ever found your entire day has been wasted doomscrolling on reels? Does social media make you insecure? Does your algorithm know you better than your parents? Us too!

In ReelLife, the player gets to experience the other side of social media. You’ll start your onboarding journey at Quoz (the newest social media platform that EVERYONE is using) by getting a glimpse into a character’s life. Don’t ask us how we got that security cam footage… Send your users reels and see how they react! But don’t let their engagement get too low. You might get put on a PIP.

This game is intended for players who love a strong narrative, player agency, and maybe a few ethical dilemmas along the way. Across seven days, you’ll become intimately familiar with your users and find that your actions may have consequences. What’s worse, an Alpha male or a modern medicine denier? That’s up to you! You’ll learn plenty about Skylar and Orion, but you might learn more about yourself.
