Plot
In a dystopian future, various people living in a worn down house play a first-person shooter virtual reality video game. Near the end of the film, it was revealed that the "targets" that the players were shooting were actual people. In the end, one of the players sees a robot, presumably controlled by the player, as he becomes the target.
Reception
Ross A. Lincoln of Deadline.com compared the film to Ready Player One and All You Need Is Kill. Meanwhile, Adi Robertson of The Verge praised the film for its combination of documentary-style footage and in-game video game footage.
After its release, the video was featured as a "Staff Pick" for the Vimeo site. On October 2016, the film won Best Short at Animago. The film was also featured at the Shnit international shortfilmfestival.
