Hɔnmε is an interactive virtual reality experience that immerses you in the spirit of King Béhanzin as he witnesses the long-awaited return of his stolen royal treasures. Set in an alternate future, the experience unfolds within his restored sacred palace, where the boundaries between past and present blur and once-looted artifacts reclaim their rightful place—not behind glass in museums, but within the living history of their origins. Here, they do not remain frozen as relics of a lost era; they awaken, resuming their purpose in the spiritual and cultural life of the kingdom.
