关于这款游戏

OVERVIEW

Spanning over 45-years, Stay Alive My Son (SAMS) is a groundbreaking virtual reality odyssey where you are transported into the life of Yathay Pin, a survivor of the Cambodian genocide to witness the world through his 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 Tu Vivras Mon Fils (Stay Alive My Son), making every moment of the game an authentic dive into history.

Made by a small team with purpose, SAMS 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.

Honored with the Producers' Guild Innovation Award and five Telly Awards for breaking new ground in storytelling, SAMS revolutionized cinema history by creating a new genre in filmmaking called “Cineplay.” This genre merges cinematic storytelling with interactivity, allowing you to live the life of a real person with a deeply human and emotive narrative. By pioneering a hyper-realistic digital representation of Yathay and integrating volumetric capture of real actors, SAMS brings Yathay and his family to life inside the game engine, enabling you to relive key moments leading to his family's separation and his quest for atonement.

THE EXPERIENCE

Your journey begins outside Yathay’s home, where you meet an eighty-eight-year-old man, brought to life with a hyper-realistic digital human powered by AI. As light gameplay mechanics guide your path, you delve deeper into the psyche of a father haunted by choices from his past. 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. 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 symbolizing the recesses of Yathay’s mind to uncover the rich history of Cambodia and confront the moments and decisions that have defined Yathay's life leading to his family's separation and abandonment of his six-year-old son, Nawath. Relive the powerful 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.

OUR TEAM

With limited resources and taking over 5 years in the making, a dedicated team of nine artists who were passionate about storytelling, aspired to shape society and culture through technology by delivering an immersive experience with a mission to change the modern day narrative of family separation into one of reunification through a profound, life-altering journey of the heart, made with heart.

Carrying PC's and VR headsets in suitcases, we traveled relentlessly across continents to screen SAMS in over 25 countries and to share this true story with thousands of audiences, technologists, policymakers, NGO's, and Heads of State in an effort to humanize the trauma of family separation and urge people to join our mission to educate, empower, and reunite modern day families torn by conflict. By joining us on our journey to bring this powerful story and mission to wider audiences globally, your support is not only for this project, but a movement of change for these families. Your support serves as a beacon of hope amongst hopelessness, love in hate, and light against the darkness. We thank you!

Victoria, our cast, crew, and team UME

p.s. We know many of you do not have headsets and would like a desktop version. Due to our limited resources, it was only possible to make it in VR and we also felt this would be the most powerful use of the medium. But, we are listening and will find a way to bring SAMS to you! We also dropped the price to help spread the story. Please know, we are doing our best to find the funds to convert this project for desktop, albeit with some adjustment, and will continue to listen to your feedback because you and this community is our backbone.

AI 生成内容披露

开发者对其游戏如何使用 AI 生成内容的描述如下:

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.

成人内容描述

开发者对内容描述如下:

"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."
