L'Annulaire (The Ring Finger)

Anna Leader

Synopsis

Iris (Olga Kurylenko) slices off her ring finger while working at a soft-drink factory. This distressing incident prompts her to quit her job; she then moves to a nearby port town, where she takes a position as a laboratory assistant for a tightly wound curator (Marc Barbé). His peculiar line of business involves preserving personal belongings that recall specific memories for his clients; a lock of hair, for example, or a piece of music. Iris drifts into an increasingly fetishistic relationship with her boss while also pining for an ethereal, enigmatic sailor (Stipe Erceg) who shares her hotel room during the hours she is at work.

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. But Edith’s world is turned upside down when her brother goes missing and a mysterious new lead promises to reveal clues of his whereabouts. Edith’s journey begins with a visit to a remote Scottish island in the hope a gifted clairvoyant can provide some much-needed answers.
