Story Generating Apparatus is an experimental VR game with an impressionistic take on self identity and lifelong tale, infused with a personal artfact of the subject's life. Players take on the role of 2D and 3D forms of Chevy the Cosmic : a washed up game hero if there ever was one. The last arcade cabinet, thus trace, of his morbid existence looms in a hidden closet of an outlet mall in Oklahoma City. As the mall is unceremoniously imploded one fateful evening to coup resources, Chevy decides he is not ready to leave this world. The game becomes a race to make peace with a long regretful existence; confronting individual life memories represented by stores toasting up in flames. What players will discover about Chevy's personal life may surprise on a personal level. They may come to know the author, thus character, in an emotional light. With the game, other works revolve around it, such as a graphic novel-instruction manual, 3D prints, its own arcade machine in solo exhibit, card game, and more.
