Ian Cheng’s Life After BOB: The Chalice Study Experience is the first episode in a animated miniseries built in the Unity game engine and presented live in real-time.

The episode integrates a 48min narrative animation with an interactive “Worldwatching” mode. Worldwatching allows viewers to pause the narrative with their smartphone and interactively examine any detail in the scene at their own tempo.

Unique in the history of narrative media, the work bridges the classic passive experience of watching a story, with an intuitive new way to dive deeper into the world of Life After BOB.
