WALLPAPER

Description

Is a thought-provoking digital experience crafted by Andy Campbell and Judi Alston as part of the *Reading Digital Fiction* research project led by Professor Alice Bell. The story follows a US-based engineer returning to his family's remote English home after his mother's passing, tasked with selling the property. But before moving on, he tests an experimental Augmented Reality device designed to reveal the secrets of a long-locked room from his childhood. Rooted in atmospheric storytelling and immersive design, the game draws praise from outlets like *PC Gamer* and *Videogamer.com*, who highlight its cinematic pacing and emotional depth. Initially showcased at Sheffield's Bank Street Arts and the Being Human Festival, *WALLPAPER* blends narrative and technology to explore memory, loss, and hidden histories. Its haunting visuals and evocative banda sonora enhance the eerie, introspective tone. Critics compare it to a lost *Black Mirror* episode, emphasizing its ability to captivate through mood.
