Bioluminescence - First Contact is a first-person cinematic virtual reality experience that thrusts the user into the role of Rachel, an experienced and fearless diver exploring the ocean abyss. She is guided by expedition leader, Eva who is a world-renowned marine scientist and Rachael’s mentor. Rachael’s fearlessness is challenged when she discovers that extraterrestrial bioluminescent parasites are infecting ocean flora and fauna, causing its behaviour to become both extraordinary and frightening. Rachael is infected by the parasite herself and faces a mesmeric, uncanny fight for her mind as she begins to communicate with the creatures encountered using a unique system of light-based interactions. When Rachael discovers that Eva betrayed her and knew she was sending her into the jaws of danger, she will question whether she even wants to come back to Eva at all...
Inspired by the shattering beauty of deep sea life, Bioluminescence - First Contact is a hard sci-fi story that blurs the lines between biological truth and science fiction. A gripping interactive experience that taps into deep existential themes and allows the user to transcend their human form and join a shared consciousness.
