About Lobby Cam by Bryn Oh
An eccentric man discovers an unlikely channel on his TV. Find his torn up diary pages to piece together the story. This is a immersive short story that is part of a larger narrative created by the artist Bryn Oh over the last decade. The whole story spans 120 years and most chapters reside in virtual worlds. Bryn is learning unreal engine in order to (slowly) bring the full narrative to a game platform. With special thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts for their generous support in helping to achieve this dream.
In this experience you will walk the environment in first person clicking on diary pages you find strewn upon the landscape. The pages will be stored in a journal which you can refer to in order to understand the full narrative. With each page you find more of the narrative is revealed.

Good idea, but poor in content. the graphics are a bit heavy.16 found this helpful

It's exactly what the description says - and an art installation as well. It's a slow journey of discovery that includes some very cool eye-twisting-brain candy. The story provides scaffolding for the visual journey and optional deliberations on technology, solitude, and relationships. Graphics and controls are good enough, some annoying camera glitches. Take it slow, enjoy the exploration, and don't dwell on the imperfections.1 found this helpful
This was an interesting experience. I genuinely like your poems and the artwork was very well done. I enjoyed the VR sections and found them to be really creative with a specific mood in place which was cohesive with the story elements. I didn't find the main story area as compelling- it was a little busy and disjointed. I also suffered some framerate issues there but it wasn't debilitating. I liked the story elements in the letters but the overarching story was muddy to me and could stand to be a bit more expanded upon. Overall I really liked this! I look forward to seeing what you do next.
Poorly optimized walking sim with couple scenes and few readable pages to discover.
Lobby Cam by Bryn Oh Positives: + Ok idea + Relaxing + Artistic + Some of the sounds + The music + Exploration + Its free Negatives: - Not a lot to see or do - The story is so-so - Requires a very good pc to run it smoothly - The graphics look a bit dated - The flashlight is more or less useless - Invisible walls - Very short (over in 45 minutes) This is an experience that might not be everyones cup of tea. But if you like to explore in relaxing environments, then give it a try. Its short and free. Total Score: 5.5/10
