End of Night is a CINEMATIC VR experience about the tormenting memories of one man's escape from Denmark to Sweden during WWII.

It is an artistic mix of advanced technologies such as photogrammetry and volumetric video, blended together into a collage-like 3D universe. Although realistic in its depiction of war-torn Copenhagen, and based on real accounts, the fictional experience unfolds like dimly recalled fragments of a painful memory.

The audience is placed in the passenger seat of a rowboat with a full freedom inside this 360 VR video, sitting face to face with Josef. Through the physical proximity to him and his vivid stories of both heroic and immoral acts, the audience become intimate observers of the trauma experienced by a young man forced to flee his own country.

The experience reflects on the theme of survivor's guilt and the impossible choices that people on the run have to make in order to save their own lives.

Excellent plot! Emotionally engaging!

It’s very well made! I see why it won awards! The download process is annoying. I just watched the directors cut in app while it went. I still had 20% left after but I just moved my oculus up slightly and played on my phone. It’s worth the hassle.

Had to do a trick to get it to load

Overall cool experience. As others have mentioned, after the menu where you select your options and press "Play", you just get a black screen. But I found I could easily fix this by going into the Meta Settings->Storage section, I could then select the Icon next to the game to clear its data/cache. Once I did that, the experience worked fine.

Hey

I had put a piece of tape over the Quest sensor to not interrupt the download, because it was taking awhile. I got 1% in 15 minutes. I wanna love this, come on!

Unique way to tell a Story

This is a very unique Story that was put together in a wonderful way. There is a second download you need to get after you install it, but it is worth it. I really enjoy how this was put together to tell this story. Thank you

Looks horrible

Full of graphical anomalies, missing texures, objects floating in midair, people popping in and out, a odd distortion around the guy in the boat with you, ect. Might be a decent story but for me unwatchable
