My Role:
Concept development, level design, asset creation, development for MR
tools: Unity(c#)/ Oculus/ Cinema 4D/ Maya/ procreate/ ElevenLabs
The project is divided into three parts. Besides being part of the concept development I was mainly responsible for the MR content in Part I and Part III.
the painting of Hell
Part I : The first part serves as an introduction to the entire experience. This scene features several interactive objects, including newspapers, a mirror, and a painting of Hell. The Hell painting is revealed when the viewer touches the scroll, triggering a narration that introduces the concept of Hell. This narration is generated by ElevenLabs (AI tool).

Part II: This VR experience takes players on a journey through hell from the protagonist’s perspective. It showcases the structure of the Chinese hell, with distinct art styles chosen for each level to enhance the atmosphere and narrative.
Part III This is the final stage of the experience. After journeying through several levels of Hell, the viewer’s journey culminates in reincarnation—into a rock.
