Visitors were free to wander the first floor of the house, piecing together details from disparate bits of looping footage, before ascending to upper levels and discovering the shocking truth behind the crew’s disappearance.
“An immersive installation experience inspired by low-fi, VHS found footage horror films … only instead of watching a movie from the comfort of your own living room, you’re exploring an actual multi-floor house.”
