## What is Sin Sol?

Sin Sol (No Sun) is an Augmented Reality art game that tells the story of climate induced wildfires through an AI hologram named Aura. Sin Sol allows users to experience the feelings of a climate change event. Players can find, see and hear a story told through poetry about living through climate change induced wildfires, from Aura. Sin Sol considers the intersections of personal trauma with environmental trauma, how the feeling of being unable to breathe intertwines with the effects of climate induced wildfires. Set fifty years in the future, Aura tells the story of environmental collapse from the past, which is our present in 2020. Part environmental archiving project, the environments in the game include actual 3-D scans of present-day forests from the Pacific Northwest. With the goal of multispecies survival and solidarity in mind, Aura’s dog, Roja, leads players on a journey to escape the wildfires and find oxygen capsules which contain poetry, telling more of the story as they progress through the game.

Sin Sol works best in an outdoor, open space, where you can walk around to navigate through the story.
