Out For Delivery

Out For Delivery is a 42 minute playable documentary shot with a 360-degree camera. The slice-of-life experience follows a food delivery courier in Beijing on January 23, 2020, the day before Lunar New Year's Eve, and the day Wuhan shut down due to COVID-19. Players experience the game by looking around and observing the courier's journey. Minimal narration provides context that players wouldn't otherwise know, while the world itself displays voluminous anecdotal information. A phone acts as a journaling, observational, and navigational supplement.
