Hereafter is a virtual reality experience about coming to terms with the greatest loss in a galaxy far from home.
Gameplay
Hereafter is set on the Marquette, a small ship crewed only by one individual. This individual is the player.
Faced with dire circumstances, the player is tasked with keeping themselves and the ship alive. Directly interacting with the Marquette using motion controls, the player will attempt to keep the ship in good repair while trying to navigate deep space and escape the fates. Team Overboard! wishes to bring the player a truly emotional and immersive experience in a beautiful marriage of environment, soundtrack and ship. To the right you can see one of our early milestone videos for Segment Prototype (best experienced with headphones!). The purpose of this milestone was to demonstrate basic game mechanics, audio feedback and visual style in a scenario that is very likely to appear in actual finished gameplay. |

Project Goals
Explore The Player's Emotional StateA large portion of the experience is exploring the emotions that could result from the player's situation. As a VR experience we feel this potential is maximized, in comparison with attempting achieve this emotional connection with traditional peripherals.

Engaging Ship and Exterior EnvironmentWith the capabilities of the Vive, we owe it to the player to make the ship environment fascinating and a joy to explore. We desire the ship to be a fun and interesting experience to interact with.
In addition to the interior environments that the player will closely interact with, we wish for the player to encounter a beautiful, visually engaging exterior environment. The combination of these environmental features Team Overboard!'s attempt to fully immerse the player in another world. |
