Sidekick

Sidekick was an interactive sci-fi prototype. The experience unfolded across the devices in players' homes - phones, tablets, and computers - blending film, puzzle-solving and interactive video into a single narrative.

Players received text messages, video calls, CCTV feeds, and audio recordings as they became active participants in a high-stakes investigation. Rather than passively watching a story, they made real-time decisions that directly affected characters' safety and the narrative's outcome. The prototype was released to a select community and received rave responses for its innovative approach.

The story followed a woman named Kenzie who discovers her sister has disappeared - connected to Sidekick Inc, a revolutionary AI home assistant. You help her investigate by communicating through your phone and monitoring security cameras in her home.
