Project Overview
Unlocked Unknown is an immersive VR experience set within the tomb of the Yanroth—an alien species whose worldview centers on the belief that perception shapes reality. Though players remain rooted in a single physical space, the world around them continually reconfigures, revealing environments that blur the boundary between presence and illusion. Through shifting spaces and evolving visual logic, the project explores how belief and perception shape our understanding of space, identity, and existence.

• Developed narrative structure and lore elements grounded in the speculative alien culture of Yanroth.
