Intro
A contemplative game with some surprising twists along the way, The Last Stop plays like an interactive adventure on the brink of life or death. When souls lose or forget their mementos, they attract evil spirits from this realm and you must use your umbrella to defend yourself and your friend from their attack! You enter this world without knowledge of your previous life and find out more and more about this place as you play - with the climax revealing hints of who you are and what your memory means.

↳ Background
At the train stop between the afterlife and death, you protect a bumbling ghost from the dangers of this whimsical purgatory. Each waiting soul brings one memento with them from their previous life, and through sharing your umbrella with a friend do you reveal the true meaning of your memento. Shield the rain, attack evil spirits, and block with your umbrella to unravel this mystery!

INTRO
The Unfathomed Voyager is a collaboration game where three players work together to explore the deep ocean with a variety of gadgets. Every player get a unique set of instructions to keep their submarine from sinking, so they might need to shout out loud for coorperation.
Submarine’s Control Panel
Based on the working way of phidgets, we designed an interesting name and indication for each phidget. For example there is a yourself, and you can push yourself by touching the electrical parts in the center of your body. You can also change paint color by rotating the painted box and facing the color you want upside.
Festival
We decorated the room to a submarine only using cardboard in 4 days. The guests had a great time! Some crew caught the blobfish but some crew crashed the submarine ... No matter you win or lose, you will still get a sticker for driving the submarine!
