Wake up call

In this abstract, we will introduce Wake Up Call, a short interactive piece that aims to convey the experience that takes place in a comatose man's mind. As the man's mind is trying to wake up back to consciousness, the player observes and drives its attempts to reconstruct its basic capabilities, which are represented as surrealist puzzles that the player has to overcome in order to progress. Wake Up Call aspires to explore how ludic mechanics can be used to create metaphors that express poetic meanings, while engaging the player in the experience in the immersive way that only an interactive medium can realise. Wake Up Call has been publicly released in October 2012 and is available to play with no price attached.
