Despre acest joc

Embark on a groundbreaking and historical journey in "Stay Alive, My Son" (SAMS), an award-winning virtual reality odyssey that changed cinema history by creating a new genre “CinePlay” merging cinematic storytelling with interactive gameplay allowing you to live the life of a real person. Four years in the making by a team with purpose, this immersive experience was honored with the Producer's Guild Innovation Award for breaking new ground by pioneering customized hyper-realistic digital humans and integrating cutting-edge technology with a deeply human narrative.

In SAMS, you are transported into the life of Yathay Pin, a survivor of the Cambodian genocide. Witness the world through Yathay's eyes, where every decision you make unfolds his poignant story of family separation, survival, and resilience. This narrative is based on the true events described in Yathay Pin's compelling novel, making every moment of the game an authentic dive into history.

Your journey begins outside Yathay’s home, where you meet an eighty-year-old man, brought to life with breathtakingly hyper-realistic digital humanity. As light gameplay mechanics guide your path, you will delve deep into the psyche of a father haunted by past choices and the haunting specter of loss.

Experience a transformative moment alongside Yathay in a ceremonial rite that intertwines your fate with his. Your hands become his; you see the world through his eyes; his memories and dilemmas flood your consciousness. Then, in a surreal twist reminiscent of "Alice in Wonderland," you plunge into the depths of his memories, initiating a quest for redemption and understanding.

Navigate the cavernous labyrinthine recesses of Yathay’s mind, uncovering the rich history of Cambodia and confronting the moments and decisions that have defined his life. Relive the powerful yet poignant moments that shaped his existence, feeling decades of sorrow and the relentless anguish of not knowing his son's fate.

Taken on a mythical branch, your odyssey culminates in the mystical echoes of Angkor Wat, a metaphorical beacon in the darkness of Yathay’s journey. Here, in the candle lit sanctuary, you'll uncover the final, elusive memory. It's in this moment of revelation that Yathay's unyielding spirit shines brightest, revealing a tale of enduring love and the transformative power of forgiveness.

"Stay Alive, My Son" is more than an experience through the life of one man; it's a bridge to the past, an exploration of the depths of human endurance, and a testament to the indomitable spirit of love and the essence of what it means to persevere, to forgive, and to heal.

Crafted by a small team passionate about storytelling that shapes society and culture through technology but also delivers an immersive experience with a mission to change the modern day narrative of family separation to reunification. SAMS has traveled across continents and screened by thousands to reunite families to now offer you more than just a story—it promises a profound, life-altering journey of the heart, made with heart.

Informații despre conținutul generat de IA

Dezvoltatorii descriu astfel conținutul generat de IA pentru jocul lor:

In "Stay Alive My Son," artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role at two distinct points in the game to enhance player immersion and emotional engagement. Specifically, AI is employed during an interaction with Yathay Pin's digital replica in Level 01 and once again in Level 06. This is programmed directly using existing Unreal Engine Blueprints nodes.

The AI integration is meticulously designed to enable Yathay's digital eyes to follow the player's movements continuously. This technology ensures that Yathay appears to be directly engaging with the player, fostering a deeper emotional connection. The purpose behind this AI application is to intensify the sense of direct communication and interaction with Yathay, thereby amplifying the player's emotional investment and empathy towards his journey and experiences.

Dezvoltatorii descriu conținutul astfel:

"Stay Alive, My Son" is a narrative-driven experience based on the harrowing true events of a father's survival during the Cambodian genocide post-Vietnam War. This virtual reality game aims to present an authentic representation of this historical period, which necessitates the inclusion of mature content.

Players will encounter historically accurate elements, such as 3D representations of wartime artifacts (including guns), human skeletons, and environmental details like wall decals depicting dried blood. It's important to note that while the game includes these mature themes, it does not feature any direct acts of violence.

The inclusion of such content is essential for maintaining the integrity of the story, ensuring accurate world-building, and providing players with a true-to-life reflection of the events and setting portrayed. This approach allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the historical context and the personal struggles faced during this time.

We advise players who may be sensitive to topics of war and its effects to approach "Stay Alive, My Son" with some caution. The game is intended for a mature audience and may not be suitable for younger players. We recommend discretion and encourage players to consider their comfort levels with such themes before engaging with the game."
