Synopsis

Asylum focuses on three young Kurdish refugees fleeing political persecution by smuggling themselves into England. Their future threatened as their genuine claims become buried in red tape, they seek refuge in a church.

Ghost Town is a single player VR puzzle-adventure set in 1980s Britian from the makers of The Room. Life has been going well for Edith. The paranormal detective agency she runs with her flatmate has never been busier, she’s almost up-to-date with her rent and the ghosts in her bathroom mirror have been less demanding than usual.

Edith’s journey begins with a visit to a remote Scottish island in the hope a gifted clairvoyant can provide some much-needed answers.
