CONCEPT
Physical, chemical, social and informational transmission happens around us everyday. Among them, information is what we feel and experience the most as the Internet is becoming a modern necessity. Internet carries an enormous amount of information flow,and gradually shapes the digital society we live in today. However, Internet can be deceiving to the public when fake information prevails and people choose to believe in the rumor rather than the truth. This problem will get much worse with advancing technology where we can edit photos, sounds and other media at will but still pertain the realism. We want our game to touch on this topic, show the social significance and be thought-provoking.
