Designer Mélodie Mousset's new experience is a gentle and, above all, playful escape. You find yourself in the heart of an enchanted garden, which doesn't seem so far away, searching for a little bird that will become your traveling companion. It's up to you to tame it, or learn how to charm it so that it comes back to see you. Empathy Creatures is a synthesis of the power of contemporary virtual reality, driven by real visual creativity and subtle interactions. It's a real pleasure to explore these three chapters to better understand all the possibilities that virtual escape has to offer.
