Hey Kids! This is Advertising! is an unsettling “metaverse experience” where you explore virtual websites created by a now defunct company that specialized in producing them.
In Hey Kids! This is Advertising! You explore a series of immersive metaverse websites that were created for different companies by a start-up called VitaXR. You can explore these websites in first person, where you’ll learn more about the companies and complete objectives.
You’ll be guided around these spaces by the pre-recorded FMV of the VitaXR CEO – an entrepreneur who has very little in the way of moral fiber. The whole thing’s pretty creepy, but things start to get especially weird once you get to delve into Beta versions of the metaverses.
It’s quite slow paced, but it’s a cleverly crafted game that does a lot with the commercial metaverse premise. The acting of the CEO is especially enjoyable, with his friendly and bubbly exterior often being betrayed by his deep seated greed, narcissism and madness. It makes for a fascinating adventure as you delve down this metaverse rabbit hole.
