Oto’s planet

This interactive VR tale follows the quiet lives of Oto and Skippy on their tiny planet. Oto enjoys his simple life, relaxing in a hammock and eating pink fruits from his unique tree. With the user’s help, Oto tries to grab a fruit but accidentally causes a shockwave that attracts Exo’s ship, which crashes on the planet. Exo emerges, plants a flag, and starts exploring the planet without any regard for Oto. The ensuing attempts at communication and cohabitation between these two unlikely roommates prove to be tricky.

With Oto’s Planet, I wanted to create an interactive, immersive experience that allows users to discover an unexpected but wonderful universe. From the outset, just like a tale, a voice-over invites the user to follow a narrative and its characters. But the tone here is familiar, slightly grumpy, and offbeat. The strong personality traits of our two main characters inject life and laughter into the story. Indeed, the tension that builds when this two contradictory characters meet is just what we need to move the narrative along. Their touching and universal encounter allows us to address some of the darker pages of human history, upon exploring themes such as sharing, land appropriation, emergence of borders, and the weight of belonging to a global ecosystem.
