Experiencing Interruptions?

Lyfe

An advanced AI ushers in world peace by giving everyone their very own virtual paradise called, “Lyfe”. But after experiencing everything Lyfe has to offer, Paul decides to delete his account and return to reality. The AI, portrayed as a puppet in suit and tie, refuses to send Paul back to reality for personal (digital) reasons. In the end, Paul must learn to live in a simulation not unlike our own.

Lyfe is built and filmed on Unity Game Engine with background images and animations developed by Stable Diffusion, NewGen, and audio provided by FakeYou. Although human-made, Lyfe blurs the line between natural and artificial creation.
