The Passengers: Her & Him

The Passengers is the story of strangers on a train. Their real journey is internal and it is you who will embark on it, taking their place to help them make a crucial decision. Enter the thoughts of one character at a time, to hear their inner voice, see their memories and live their emotions.
A woman (HER) tries to answer her boyfriend’s tricky question. Will she find the courage to speak her mind? Opposite, a young man (HIM) is infatuated with the woman seated in front of him and must overcome his shyness to talk to her.
Welcome aboard the first two out of four chapters of this interactive VR experience in which your gaze and your voice influence the story.
