Diorama No.1 : Blocked In
Is not a traditional game or demo. It’s a virtual journey into a painter’s vision, where the goal is to feel awe and wonder. Set in the workshop of a Russian scientist, players explore a surreal scene filled with tetronimoes, creating a sense of being “blocked in” to a unique world. This is the first installment in *The Shoebox Diorama*, a series of immersive VR experiences by illustrator Daniel Ernst. The experience can be enjoyed alone or as part of a larger narrative through the upcoming *Table of Contents* hub. Originally launched in late 2013 for DK1, *Blocked In* introduced many to VR and helped define the genre. Its artistic approach and atmospheric design make it a standout. If you enjoyed this experience, you might also like the other dioramas in the collection.
