Uncanny Alley: A New Day

The legendary Uncanny Alley returned to ignite Raindance Immersive’s 10th anniversary with a thrilling evolution: Uncanny Alley: A New Day—an immersive theatre experience featuring live actors.

Adaptive Learning Industries is about to launch the New Day update through legislation that passed with little public support. Uncanny Alley’s “Metizens” will soon feel the amnesia-like effects from weaponized Radio Frequency waves.

Cyberpunk hacker-whiz, Gh0st, breaks a group of protesters out of jail to lead them and her increasingly sentient Service-Bot, Atom, to safety through a hacked portal, out of the city and to a new metaverse. They must stick together, evade capture, and decide whether to leave Uncanny Alley or stay and fight for their freedom, and their home.
