Project Cottontails

Project Cottontails is a short interactive story set in a faithfully recreated 3D version of the Civic Museum of Manduria. You play as Alessio, a thoughtful young man exploring the museum as fragments of his grandfather’s past emerge. His grandfather was a former Allied pilot in World War II.

The story lasts about twenty minutes and takes a simple, subdued approach to stirring emotion. The game also offers virtual access to a real cultural site, sharing a piece of local heritage with people who may not be able to visit in person.
