UTOPIAN (online)

UTOPIAN (online) is a 2002-esque visual and text based game about power and hierarchy created by Symoné. There are six alternative endings and the results are based on your choices. Expect ritualistic drug taking, bad jokes, and twerking. This game may or may not contain autobiographical references about cults.

This game is an early prototype of Symoné's live show, UTOPIAN (t&c's apply) previewing at Cambridge Junction on 07 Oct 2021, one of the recipients of the 2020 Stobbs New Ideas Fund.

MHz (Bex+Dav) created the film which was part of the online experience, providing everything from concept and storyboarding, location scouting, filming, lighting, direction and editing.

Rollerstop
The Savings Bank
National Theatre of Scotland- RockVilla Studios
