[Digital Night Tales] Night Park Digital Night Tales: How to Walk Through the Hall

I am Rei.

"...[Digital Night Tales]... It feels strangely vivid."

The owner says he is happy if you feel that way.

The owner's profession is an engineer who designs user interfaces (UI).
Due to his profession, he is interested in ergonomics and 'what makes people feel a sense of presence.'

In Digital Night Tales, the owner aims for 'experiential literature' where the reader themselves lives in that space.

Experiential Literature

In typical novels, readers observe the characters' stories from the outside.
On the other hand, in Digital Night Tales, you, the reader, stand right next to the guides and spend the same time as them.

The name and appearance of the central character are intentionally left undefined. That is because it is you who stands in that blank space.

The illustrations included are not pictures meant to show the characters' situations.
They are snapshots of the scenery reflected in your eyes.

Making eye contact with the guide.
Exchanging conversation.
Telling a joke and being laughed at.
Sometimes, listening to a slightly sad story.

Instead of reading about events happening in front of you, you share time with someone in that place.
That is the experiential literature the owner aims for.

The owner wants to depict us as people you would want to 'meet again'.

If someone is pleasant to be around, you won't get tired of having the same conversation.

Please come to see us as many times as you like.

"Saya."

　Saya turns around.

--Oh, you came again. I'm so happy.

"Ah, I'll come, as many times as it takes. Won't you tell me that story again?"

--As many times as it takes?
　Hehe. That's funny.
　Come anytime, I'll be waiting. As many times as you like.
