Cream Unveils VR Sci-Fi Drama with Dominic Monaghan

Cream Productions is working on the virtual reality sci-fi drama Dark Threads, which includes an avatar of Dominic Monaghan (Star Wars: Episode IX—The Rise of Skywalker, Lost, Lord of the Rings trilogy).

The fully interactive experience allows gamers to embark on a fantastical journey of consciousness, as players drop into a near-future environment to enact their personal narratives. Their memories are gone, so they must piece together the clues with the help of benevolent AI.

Beginning July 22, Dark Threads will be available on the Steam store for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Dark Threads is funded by the Canada Media Fund, Ontario Creates and Cream Productions.

“Dark Threads is a VR adventure that compels players to consider the essence of consciousness, altruism, cruelty and life itself,” said Johnny Kalangis, VP of digital at Cream. “The experience is like a multiple-choice scripted series with three distinctly mysterious endings; each option directly affects the finale.”
