Uncanny Alley: A New Day
The legendary Uncanny Alley returns to ignite Raindance Immersive's 10th anniversary with a thrilling evolution: Uncanny Alley: A New Day – an immersive theatre experience with live actors!
Prepare to be plunged into a gripping dystopian future, choked by digital surveillance and iron-fisted rule. This electrifying new chapter delves into the ever-shifting landscape of the Metaverse and the relentless pursuit of freedom and authenticity.
A cyberpunk computer-whiz named Gh0st races against the clock to lead a group of escaped detainees and her increasingly sentient service bot, Atom, to freedom through a hacked portal before the fascistic corporation that controls Uncanny Alley can erase their memories using experimental radio frequency technology.
As the story unfolds around you, you and the gang will become key players in the rebellion against corporate overlords. You must evade capture and decide whether to leave your beloved digital city and start a new Metaverse or stay, and fight for your freedom, and your home.
