Oracle Project
A hopeful group of young scientists seek to purify a desecrated world, but the powers that be are not so keen on letting them finish their work unscathed. When tapping into knowledge not meant for your comprehension, what becomes of the mind?Oracle Project is a series of interactive fiction with supplementary material provided in the form of comics, sculptures, mixed media and websites. Oracle Project deals with themes of desperation, hope, loss, and the cycle of grief. It tells the story of a group of friends torn apart by their conflicting ideals as well as a creeping supernatural influence.A world torn asunder by a great calamity populated by a scarce but resilient few who cling to the joys of life, and the influence from beyond the rift that seeks to destroy what was left shattered. Follow the records of those who populated Halcyon, a scientific and theological research site dead set on reviving a world with a half-beating heart.
