The Book of YOKO

“Yoko” is a game world in VR that allows the user to investigate an old Japanese woman’s past by exploring her book of memories. The concept is indented to create an experience of ‘life flashing before your eyes’. It is created in a pop-up book form, that the player can walk inside this book and visit our main character’s memories.

Instead of real people from her past – whose presence can still be perceived through objects, sound and written text – the characters that inhabit Yoko’s memories are Yōkai, supernatural creatures belonging to the Japanese folklore.

In our showcasing events, especially kids showed a big attention to Yoko. The storyline, implementation and our art style was relatable for the young audience.
