Human Avatars: The Girlfriend Experience

Posted by Dijo On Monday, January 15, 2007 0 comments
You get to pick one from among four human avatars. You can make the avatar move around, explore the space around him/her and generally have fun.

This game is a comment on the rampant growth of online avatar communities such as Second Life and World of Warcraft has enabled the creation of a personal online social and economic existence. This game will give you a taste of what happens when the avatars are no longer a group of pixels roaming around but are real flesh and blood humans.

All you get in the game is a period of ten minutes. In that brief interval of time you have to get to know your avatar and then decide how far the avatar is ready to go in order to execute your specific commands. This ends up creating a rather peculiar situation: there are chances that your avatar may be the one controlling you instead of it being the other way round.
