Description: A journey from Afganistan to Sweden. Experience 26 documentary stories and 5 surreal worlds in VR. Rap from Emilia Carapic (Bac Nini)Voices from experiencers during the Night of Culture in Lund, where over 80 people tried the experience:”The coolest thing I’ve seen!
Review: ‘It Could Have Been Me’ is an interactive experience that sees you exploring various dream-like experiences while learning about the 26 documentary stories. While there is a political message behind ‘It Could Have Been Me’ I feel it gets lost in translation with the weird visuals, the poor overall quality of the experience and the mix of sounds and songs. I just can’t recommend this for anyone in particular as it is far too pin-pointed in terms of its target audience. But I think this one is best off avoided unless it suddenly becomes free. I have seen worse VR experiences, but most of those were free.
