InnerVerse is an immersive emotional experience game based on virtual reality technology. Players will enter symbolic internal spaces(the lungs, heart, liver)By perceiving changes in the environment, they will explore the deep connection between emotions and body organs. The game is inspired by the theory of "emotions and the five internal organs" in traditional Chinese medicine, the gut and brain axis hypothesis, and the emotion recognition mechanism in psychotherapy. It presents the emotional landscape inside the body in a dreamy and abstract visual language, aiming to guide players to establish perception, acceptance, and empathy for their own emotions.
The completed breath space, primarily blue, depicts a surreal world where the sky and sea are reversed. Lungs, like trees, form a forest growing out of the sea. Dreamy particles and jellyfish float in the air, while plants and rocks of various transparent materials fill the sea. A mist shrouds the environment, adding a mysterious atmosphere. Players simulate breathing (inhalation/exhalation) by pressing and releasing the handle, controlling the breathing rhythm of the plants. Players can also shoot music bubbles to play piano sounds. This creates a slow, calm, and introverted atmosphere, guiding users into an emotional state of sadness and self-reflection.
