Ever since I was a little, four year oldn lad I dreamt of creating various worlds which other people could enjoy and explore. The worlds I would imagine ranged from robotic-dinosaur theme parks to Zelda-inspired resorts.
'Deep Space' to me is an avenue into a whole new era of entertainment, a game where you are physically present in the story world.
I hope to share this dream with you as I invite you to be the first few to play and enjoy this cinematic experience. May it be the first of many worlds to come.

The Game
Deep Space stems from a deep dissatisfaction with the typical escape room, and an unyielding desire to explore new ways of storytelling. We don't want you to be the audience, We want you to be the protagonist.
Your own exploration ship, has found itself the victim of an inexplicable series of malfunctions. You and your crew are alone, drifting through the unnerving silence of the void, isolated from all communication stations.
Burdened by the mechanical rumblings of your failing ship and the defective ramblings of your robotic companion 'Columbus', you start to sense the presence of an intruder. Something fast. Something smart. Something not quite human...
The creative team behind Deep Space have been working hard to make an elaborate, tangible space - an interactive storyline to be entered and explored. We need YOUR help to finish it off, and make it great.
Crews are made up of 2-4 people, and with your support we hope to launch in November.
We also want you involved, check out our rewards to see how!

How The Funds Will Be Used
On top of the capital we've been working hard to earn, we hope to raise a little more through crowdfunding to get this dream to where we want it to be.
Our crowdfunding minimum target is $2000, but of course, anything above this will help our team to further explore creative possibilities and to improve the quality of the experience we have set out to deliver to you. So hopefully, with much helpful kindness we will be able to exceed that amount.
The Challenges
The team making Deep Space into reality is comprised of a handful of young, adventurous students, entrepreneurs and creatives who have given their time and energy into this venture because they believe in it and love what they do. Your support will go a long way to ensure that we can provide you with a visually stunning and interactive spaceship.
With your help, we can fully realise our goal - to create a vivid and tangible world to be explored by you.
