GONE is a 12-minute immersive VR experience set in the ecologically rich Tablelands of Gros Morne National Park, where the Earth’s mantle is exposed in the striking red rock formations. Jane, a middle-aged woman, is lost in a barren desert and bonds with a starving sabre-toothed cat. Together, they discuss the origins of life and the mystical egg that promises renewal. Rejecting a drug-peddling shrub-ox’s offer of youth, Jane continues her journey, encountering ghostly mammoths before seizing the egg. As it cracks open, the desert transforms, symbolizing rebirth in a world defined by extinction.
