A collaboration between East West Players and Rouge Artists Ensemble, THIS ALLEY IS HAUNTED was an immersive, walk through launch event full of spirits, talking skeletons, and fantastic creatures.
Created to celebrate the new app Kaidan Project: Alone, patrons were able to step inside the game to see if they could make it out on their own.
The experience begins with an encounter with a headless spirit, voiced by a live actor talking through a two way mic/speaker setup. The player then encounters floating oni heads giving them their last warnings before descending into the haunted alley. Then they weave their way through several rooms, each with their own separate haunting sound environment. The final room features a looming Kitsune Spirit.
Above is the dress run of the full experience. Below is the original concept video shared with the team for the sound design.
