My current project deals with the problem of lost memories.

Can you imagine not being able to remember almost nothing from your life? How does is actually feel to have no memories of the own life?

The person experiences every from first person view. At the beginning we start in the sky, because of gravity we are falling down at the ground without any orientation. Everything is dark. Falling down we find our orientation back. Suddenly the person realises some cubes in the dark, slowly walking towards them. When the person gets closer the cubes start to change from black into different pictures. Every cube shows a different memory from life (with pictures and videos). These are memories we started to forget even though they were such important and wonderful moments. It's a melancholic atmosphere while walking around seeing all these memories. It's sad to not remember most of the things in your life, when they just don't exist in your mind and when you also cannot see them in front of your minds eye.

During the experience the person is able to control everything on its own. Walking around is possible by using w, a, s, d. Also looking around gets controlled by the mouse, which is a good way to make it even more realistic with the first person view. It's possible to look 90 degrees up and 90 degrees down. Also turning the head to the left and right is possible. I also added the option to jump by using the space bar.
