The second Dev Diary introduces the world of Human Within alongside the main characters of the experience: Linh, who the player experiences the entire story from as their consciousness in the digital world; Nyla, Linh’s sister; and Blake, Linh and Nyla’s boss. Throughout the thrilling narrative, memory sequences unfold where you focus on Linh’s relationship with either Nyla or Blake. Who you focus on determines which backstory you follow, each backstory containing flashbacks that task you to make either a selfish or compassionate choice. An amalgamation of choices influences what happens at the end, and with a total of nine decision points and five different endings, each with around a 90 minute playthrough, technology and Linh’s fate is entirely up to you.

About Human Within

Directed by Avi Winkler and Anne Weigel, Human Within unfolds in a modern world where Nyla, a cyber engineer, and her sister Linh, are employed at Forward Industries. Together, they pioneer a groundbreaking supercomputer by harnessing the human brain’s processing power. However, when Nyla seeks to disengage from the project, both sisters are detained, compelled to continue their work amidst suspicions of their employer’s hidden motives. In a daring bid for freedom, Nyla is forced to connect the technology to Linh, and use it in the very way she feared it would be.

Signal Space Lab began pre-production of Human Within, in 2019, including script writing and prototyping the experience under the creative direction of Avi Winkler. Director Anne Weigel and award-winning German producer Actrio Studio joined the project and wrapped principal photography in December 2023. Human Within then began its festival tour in October premiering at FIVARS in Toronto on October 3rd and Beyond The Frame Festival in Tokyo on October 25th-27th, 2024. Supported by Meta, Canada Media Fund, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, and Filmstiftung NRW Germany, Human Within aims to raise the bar for interactive narrative VR experiences.
