[OVERVIEW]
2056. Everyone is equipped with a brain implant connected to a mini-robot: the “Confident.”
Designed to regulate hormones and offer personalized advice, its mission is simple: to make us happy.
In this interactive VR experience, you play an investigator looking into the mysterious collapse of Sally, a citizen found unconscious with her Confident disconnected. As doubts grow around a simple technical glitch, you must choose: cover up the truth or challenge the system.
Confident blends interactive fiction and gameplay to spark reflection on society’s future through immersive decision-making.
Currently in development, the project is written by Bertrand Jeandel and Benjamin Hoguet, directed by Jérôme Blanquet and Bertrand Jeandel, and produced at Awai.
Supported by the CNC - Fonds Expériences Numériques, Creative Europe MEDIA, Pictanovo, and the Martell Foundation, in association with Magelis · Cnam-Enjmin. It has been selected at Venice Production Bridge, VR Days Amsterdam, and Cinemart Rotterdam (winner of the 4DR Studios Award).
