Fort McMoney

Combining documentary film and video games, Fort McMoney plunges into Fort McMurray in Alberta (Canada), home of the biggest industrial project on earth and the third-largest oil reserve in the world; a city of outrageousness where billions of dollars can be made but at what cost? Designed for the Web and iPads it is a kind of road movie, where players can take virtual control of the city and shape its destiny while learning more about its social, economic, political and cultural history in order to better understand what is at stake. By using real footage and allowing the audience to interact with the real people involved, the game’s aim is to give people a better understanding of the complexities of the oil sands issues. Players determine the narrative by their own choices of navigation, taking part in referendums or opinion polls, accomplishing missions. They can also interact with each other.
