Description: How would you respond if you were asked to carry out an order you disagreed with? Sentenced is a narrative Virtual Reality experience inspired by social psychology experiments. Designed to last around an hour, the player is cast as Executioner for Ulrichshafen, a fictional early-modern European city. On behalf of your Lords, you will punish those who break the laws of the realm, and be assessed on the competence of your performance over multiple scenarios. Sentenced is a game about personal conscience and obedience to authority. It's about obligation, institutionalized violence, and the power structures that dictate the behavior of individuals within a system. Master the art of beheading, become an agent of authority, and enact a divine drama of justice, death, and redemption.
