A 6-part live streamed interactive theatre show streamed from the game engine.
"Game Changers," set in the fictional Northern town of GreenView, invites audiences into an innovative, interactive narrative game where their decisions shape the unfolding story in a vital battle against climate change. This groundbreaking show integrates state-of-the-art technology, live motion-captured performances, and real-time audience interaction, offering a unique, engaging digital experience through playgamechangers.com.
Developed by Sheffield’s Megaverse and financially backed by UK Research & Innovation, the project aims to move audiences from apathy to collective action against climate issues. With narratives and dialogue penned by Emma Nuttall and research from academics Dr. Lynda Dunlop and Zoyander Street, "Game Changers" not only stands as a pioneering digital storytelling initiative but also a compelling tool aimed at uniting diverse audiences in a story of climate change activism.
