How to exist during the end of the world? Sometimes we feel completely lost, alone and certain that we are a "lost cause". But what if it were different? I wouldn't be me.
(This film (machinima) was developed using images from the game Bound (Plastic Studios, Santa Monica Studio) during gameplay moments by the author.)
