“Diatribes” is a poetic VR interactive narrative that explores the internal conflicts surrounding climate change. In a 15-20 minute experience, players navigate a surreal mindspace filled with distractions and emotional turmoil. This dynamic world transforms based on your emotional state—sometimes inviting contemplation through meditative tasks, while at other times thrusting you into a high-stakes gauntlet between Nature and Civilization. As you journey through diverse landscapes, you’ll unlock ancient myths and receive guidance from a therapeutic companion. The experience intertwines personal reflection with broader climate issues, encouraging players to confront their anxieties and envision a hopeful future.
