You enter a dimly lit corridor that has a variety of doors. Behind each door is a different room, with different actions and different journeys. The only light comes from a small screen at the end of the corridor. Colours, shapes and sounds flicker into your senses from the TV, distracting you from the doors and making you wonder what is playing. Focus. Remember the grounding exercise Breathe...

You step into a sudden light filled space, whilst the unnerving sound of the stiff door scraping against the floor echoes behind you. In front of you there is an abandoned [[construction|caro]] site that can only be accessed by climbing up a scaffolding tower. It looks like it can <a href="https://www.moma.org/audio/playlist/243/3120" target="_blank">take your weight</a>, but you wonder if you should trust it... Before you decide what to do, you turn back around to see the metal door. It's shut. What will you do? - [[Try the door handle|door handle]] - [[Start to climb the scaffolding|scaffolding]] - [[A Secret Third Thing|alt path scrap]]

Ah...so you decided to try [[the door|rodney]] after all? I don't think it will open but I won't stop you. You walk towards it. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking.THINK. Should you [[sloooow|matisse]] down? You keep walking. You keep walking. You keep walking. It feels like you are [[following|calle]] something...[[someone|fruits]] You keep walking. Or are you the one being [[followed?|poppy]] You keep walking. You keep... You...are getting tired... How long have you been walking for? I'm sure you're tired. [[You keep walking.|papalia]] . . . It's not getting any closer is it? I told you I didn't think it would [[open|solitaire]].

You start to climb the rickety scaffolding. You feel scared but you continue [[upwards|judd]]. As you reeeach up looking at the shapes of the construction above, you are reminded that you have seen something like this before. I think it was in [[the past|caro]] or maybe even your [[lifetime|rothschild]]... You choose to push yourself higher. Coming to a ledge, you sit on the scaffolding a while and listen to a <a href="https://audioboom.com/posts/7525507-sculpting-lives-phyllida-barlow" target="_blank">podcast.</a> Aaahhhh, that gave you some peace. You gaze down into the space surrounding the platform. There is a [[river|monet]] meandering through fields of [[flowers|irvin]], the only light coming from the [[moon|friedrich]]. With this [[movement|carsten]], you wonder Is A River Alive? Sitting on this structure makes you think of your [[dad|mueck]] and how you used to visit the local scrapyard together, collecting [[old electronics|stim1]] to create sculptures with. I suppose [[anything|picasso]] can be a sculpture...

You decide to explore the rest of the room before you settle on how to progress. maybe you're afraid of heights...or making a mistake. That's okay. It is time to [[change direction|monkey]]! Look around, what do you see? - [[A bed that looks like someone recently slept in it|emin]] - [[An empty tennis court|tennis court]] - [[A plastic slide similar to one from a childhood memory|slide]]

Making your way to the tennis court, you notice the space isn't empty after all. But both sides of the net are different. Will you join [[SIDE A|teaparty]] or [[SIDE B|dance]]? click [[HERE|ground2]] for a new grounding exercise while you choose

The slide has that nostalgic, [[spiralled shape|carsten]] not too dissimilar to a piece of [[macaroni|ground1]]. It is a similar pale yellow colour too. You can tell it used to be a [[bright, sunshine yellow|rothko]]...it was probably the centrepiece of the park, but the weather has damaged it over time. You wonder how long it's been there... How many people have felt the thrill and joy of sliding down it. You can't help it. You want to feel that again so you clamber into the familiar smooth surface of the slide's entrance and begin to gently push yourself down. You start to feel static on your clothes where the plastic strokes against the fabric. Well? Go on then. [[Slide.|downslide]]

And it's over before it even began. Suddenly you are at the [[bottom|bottom]] of the slide. You wonder if you took the right direction. Did you make the right [[choice?|start]] Think carefully.

The rush down the slide is immediate. You feel cold wind blooow through your hair and against your cheeks. Looking up, the sky is full of [[colourful, abstract shapes|irvin]] exploding in front of You [[DROP|pollock]] off the end of the slide landing in... - [[A ball pit|fruits]] - [[A swimming pool|hockney]]

You ignore the flickering TV screen and decide to choose a door to open instead. - [[A rusted, metal door|building site]] - [[A glass door...that strangely you can't see through|ladder]] - [[A large, concrete door covered in multicoloured windows|comic]]

Stepping towards the TV screen, you sit on the floor in front of it. Suddenly, there is a remote beside you. Which channel will you watch? - [[Channel 1|goosebumps]] - [[Channel 2|david bowie]] - [[Channel 3|linekar]] - [[Channel 4|marmite]] - [[Channel 5|pon]] Return to the [[corridor|YES]].

After pulling open the heavy [[concrete|andre]] slab, you step into a crowded room lined with rows and rows of books. There is a narrow walkway through the space which stretchessss out in front of you to a seemingly dead end. [[Wandering|calle]] through the stacks of books, you look around trying to figure out where the path is going to take you. inhale slowly... On the shelf next to you lies a crinkled copy of <a href="https://www.beano.com/comic/beanotown/archive-beano-annual-1988" target="_blank">Beano.</a> You suddenly recall a memory of your uncle's comic book store...is that here? It seems different in your [[memory|comic2]]. You push forwards toward the [[dead end|comic3]], passing copies of The Poet X, The Artist's Way and Ninth Street Women.

The shop you remember feels different. It is dark, lit only with neon lights that illuminate everything pink but it's still hard to see where you are going. There is a [[painting|munch]] hanging at the far end of the room, next to a [[crackly radio|poppy]]. It was quiet and empty, except for a young girl asleep on the floor. You don't remember who she was. It seems in this memory, the books don't seem to [[exist|martin]]. The store feels like one of those skateboard shops that doesn't actually sell [[skateboards|skateboard]], complete with [[stickers|ny]] plastered to every surface. Some are of singers like Blondie and The Cure. You now wonder if it even sold [[books|poetry]] at all. You pass by a singular book titled 'Process: The Book (A Tomato Project)'.

You notice [[colourful pottery|cliff]] and stacks of books dotted around. The messy mounds of books remind you of [[somewhere|comic2]], so you decide to flick through some [[pages|poetry2]] and see a large watercolour of a [[dragon|blake]]. QUESTION: Would you like to keep looking through the [[books|poetry]]? There are distracting shapes floating around the court. Focussing on them you realise they are paintings of [[flowers|monet]], [[landscapes|constable]] and...a peculiar one that looks like the [[other side|matisse-dance]] of the [[tennis court]].

This side feels more lively. Looking around you notice crowds of [[people|juliet]]. How strange...the <s>tea party</s> was empty. Music drifts through the space and the crowds start to move. There is a very faint smell that reminds you of [[animals|barn]]. Looking back towards the [[other side|teaparty]], you see a [[family dancing|ringgold]], the floating paintings becoming their background. You want to keep looking but you are swept away into a [[bright, colourful movement|haring]].

Clicking BLUE TEXT will take you to another page. The pages will either continue the story or show you a piece of 'art'. There are 100 pages with almost 70 pieces of 'art' to find. There are multiple, different pathways to explore the website. Some blue text might take you to an external website to learn more, either by reading, listening or watching. External links have a box with an arrow in. Every time you are forced to RETRY, you gain a 1 UP. These are counted on the start page as a way to track your personal journey through the website. There is no winning or losing. There is no specific path, end or goal. You can explore as much as you like and you can finish whenever you want. You might get lost...that's okay. It is about choice.

RETURN TO [[TITLE|title]]. 'Will You Go? is a non-linear narrative based website created by Vesper Cain, revolving around the idea of moving through creative pathways. Influenced by online ARG's, such as I Love Bees and Poppy Playtime pre-releases, the "game" takes a Choose Your Own Adventure approach and follows a series of encounters to create a journey through the 'art world'. The story has been written from a collection of memories, experiences and encounters received from a variety of people within the arts and culture sector. It includes their inspirations, favourite works of art and moments in their own creative journeys that influenced them to choose to work within the arts. Thank you to those who contributed, hopefully you can see a part of yourself within the game. Thinking about the idea of motivation, gamification and escapism, 'Will You Go?' explores how exposure to internet culture and online spaces can frame how we absorb information and affect our decision making. For your own exploration, below is a short list of Alternate Reality Game's that inspired the idea for this website: - Gravity Falls 'Cipher Hunt' - Ong's Hat (one of the first ARG's) - Leith Pierre Computer Search, Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 - The Beast, for A.I. Artificial Intelligence - Potato Sack, Portal 2 - I Love Bees, Halo 2 - The Secret of Monkey Island - Give Yourself Goosebumps Visual references for the website come from early internet pages, such as <a href="https://www.csoon.com/" target="_blank">Coming Soon Magazine</a>, alongside Suzanna Treister's <a href="https://www.suzannetreister.net/Ampages/Amenu.html" target="_blank">Fictional Videogame Stills</a>.
