In Diggers VR you are a new recruit with the ANZAC diggers of World War 1. This is a real-time, virtual reality docu-drama that recreates life in the trenches and tunnels at the Battle of the Somme.

 

You move through the story triggering narrative cues by interacting with other characters or the environment. You subtly influence events as they evolve.

 

Here you are, in the largest armed conflict in history. What fate awaits you deep beneath the ground, digger?
