Minimum Mass

Enter a gritty, surreal, and cinematic story rooted in the emotional world of miscarriage and family.

Minimum Mass is a story about love, loss, and black holes. Set in contemporary Rotorua, New Zealand and the speculative world of black holes, it is a short interactive narrative virtual reality. Minimum Mass takes place in a real-time, photorealistic computer generated story world and has been developed as an in headset experience for the Oculus Rift-S.
