Introduction
The Versions is an immersive narrative game built in Unreal Engine 5. The project explores how the meaning of the same event changes when seen from different perspectives.
Players experience the world through three viewpoints — friend, lover, and stranger — each reshaping the environment and narrative clues. The game highlights the idea of “versioned truth” where meaning emerges through multiple interpretations rather than a single fixed story.
Concept.
The project demonstrates how interactive environments can reveal the instability of narrative meaning. By allowing players to move between different perspectives, the game transforms abstract theoretical ideas into a tangible experience, encouraging players to question how stories are constructed and interpreted.
Outcome.
The final work is an interactive narrative environment developed in Unreal Engine 5. Through shifting perspectives and visual filters, the same space reveals different narrative interpretations. By navigating these perspectives, players experience how meaning changes depending on who tells the story, turning theoretical concepts of narrative drift into an interactive experience.
