Our take on AREA MAN LIVES
Its defining format is a VR radio drama where station work, caller conversations, and imagined environments carry the story.
What is AREA MAN LIVES?
Play as a radio station’s new DJ in a VR radio drama.
Keep the station running by recording commercials and interviewing callers, then examine how choices made inside the station affect the listening audience. The story presents characters and environments from the drama as interactive elements. A producer and a female voice guide the player through the station’s events.
