SUMMARY:Arcade
DESCRIPTION:Where will your choices lead you? \nOn Eastgate Street\, in a completely dark shipping container\, immerse yourself in a choose-your-own-adventure experience like no other. This isn’t any ordinary arcade and these are not ordinary arcade machines. Step into a world inspired by 1980s video games\, with 360-degree sound and sensory effects. \nYou will be assigned an arcade machine and embark on a unique journey. In a war\, which side will you choose? Will you seek out peace? Will you join a cult promising a better version of reality? Will you win or lose? \nBrought to you by the “terrifyingly brilliant” (Time Out) Darkfield\, world-leaders in immersive experiences\, Arcade’s interactive story will ask you powerful questions about free will and consciousness\, and no-one will experience the story in the same way.
