We are alone but receive the signs that tell us we are together. Networked, we are together, but so lessened are our expectations of each other that we can feel utterly lonely. Because information can be digitised, but the inner cannot.

Based on Sherry Turkle's Alone Together and Michelle Drouin's Out of Touch, I created a pixelated RPG game where the audience goes down an endless freeway in search of the power to resist ‘Alone Together’. Mr.L will accompany and guide the audience as an NPC, but in the end, the audience will find out the horrible truth, that ‘loneliness’ has always been with them. In the end, the audience needs to defeat this loneliness!

Everything is your choice!
