About This Game

VIDEO CHAPEL is a collaborative project by Jonathan Turner and Marsia Alexander-Clarke exploring the possibilities of experiencing art in virtual space. Within these seemingly peaceful chambers users will find a selection of works by Alexander-Clarke amid a continuously expanding and compressing audiovisual architecture. Shifting the venue to virtual space gives us an opportunity to experience the works with new interpretations, freedoms, and constraints.

DISCLAIMER

• VIDEO CHAPEL is not a traditional video game.

• We hope you receive it as an art experience—like going to a gallery installation or museum—but with the unique immersive possibilities of virtual space.

GAMEPLAY

• The majority of the gameplay involves exploration and light spatial puzzling.

• Total Playtime is around 3 hours but you could potentially speedrun everything in 1 hour.

• There are no intentional horror elements or jump scares but some areas feature overwhelming darkness and isolation that may be unsettling to some.

• Sound is a critical part of the experience and headphones are highly recommended to appreciate the full effect of the dynamic binaural mix.

• Multiplayer is implemented and is encouraged so users can share their experience together. **Unfortunately it is currently only supported on PC. I hope to bring multiplayer support to the Mac version in the future.

• VR is implemented for PC but requires a powerful system. On a i7-8700k/2080ti I can have a great experience but it is still sub-90fps performance.
