My Name Is Peter Stillman

Synopsis

A telephone rings three times in the dead of the night. A man called Peter Stillman is looking to hire a private detective, Paul Auster of the Auster Detective Agency, someone Daniel Quinn is not.
Based on Paul Auster's critically acclaimed novel, 'City of Glass' this VR experience puts the user directly into the deeply emotional and disorientating story of Daniel Quinn, a reclusive crime writer who unwittingly becomes the protagonist in a real-life thriller of his own. The gripping, 4 minute experience combines hand-drawn animation and cutting edge technology to distort the line between reality and action, placing audiences at the centre of this narrative as the strange and haunting story unfolds. In a story about identity, 'My Name is Peter Stillman' makes us question who we really are in this fragile world.
