Description

Wasted is an interactive narrative experience to immerse the player in the heart of depression disorder. Wasted tells a piece of life of a depressed person following him in his daily life. His place of life becomes a reflection of his mental and emotional state. The experience does not aim to provide a fun form of pleasure. Placing the player in the mind of a depressive, it is primarily a sensory and subjective diving in the illness. To better recreate the vicious circle in which the depressed person is, time unfolds through a series of cycles representing his days. The player can only then go around in circles in his apartment until the end...
