What legacy will we leave behind once we’re gone? Will our earthly possessions, our ideas and the work we’ve done be a reflection of who we were as a person? Astra, a fictional science-fiction story full of space travel and planet exploration, has these questions at its core. Through the technology of mixed reality, the project transforms the Airship Gulliver into a spaceship and lets the players discover new elements on mesmerizing, faraway planets while searching for the essence of life. Inspired by the recent loss of her father, the American author, Eliza McNitt, created more than just a sci-fi game: as she herself claims, Astra is “a reflection of the human soul through the depths of the cosmos”.
