Third Call is a first-person video game based on the architectural plans of the Badisches Staatstheater. The core idea of the game is to create a piece of digital artwork that exists in a virtual space while also retaining a tangible, real-world presence. Thematically, the game is connected to an extensive modernization and renovation of the theater building that is currently underway. The game captures the fusion of old and new theater buildings, creating interactive portals for players to move through a constantly reconfigured theater space. By exploring the theater’s architecture in time-lapse, players experience the theater’s dynamism and transformation.
A PC version of the game is available for download on volna.Itch.io.
Third Call was supported by the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Karlsruhe within the framework of UNESCO City of Media Arts.
