Cheongsam (testing)

Do note: Cheongsam is currently in a very private testing phase. If you wish to be kept up to date on its development and progress, follow @StoutGames (company account) or @JeroenDStout (very personal account). If you are interested in proof-playing Cheongsam, let your interest be known via Twitter or the website.

Quite how they got there is hard to say—Maggie and Michael find themselves in a park. Scarcely knowing one-another, they talk of aeroplanes, violins and their friends; who gave up looking for them and found a pub instead.

„Cheongsam" is a piece of "virtual theatre": while you take on the part of Michael, an advanced AI takes on the part of Maggie. By controlling his pose and facial expressions you act together with her in a refined performance to your own taste: you might play a little shy, and Maggie might be played a little cheeky; somewhat cocky, or somewhat brisk...

Despite escaping to a park together, Maggie & Michael might not be so evenly matched. But they do share those youthful interests, ambitions, fears, and dreams that go well with chance encounters on nippy spring evenings.

Free of achievements or explicit goals, „Cheongsam" invites you to give your own interpretation to the script: and play again, each time getting lost in the charms of acting together with Maggie.
