Visit the workspace of a Russian scientist in this indie casual simulation diorama. Gaze at an extraordinary end-of-the-world scene built from tetronimoes that traps you in place. Explore this VR experience to spark wonder and escape into thought.
Blocked In stands as the first in The Shoebox Diorama series by interactive illustrator Daniel Ernst. Originally released in 2013 for early VR adopters on DK1, it helped define the diorama style for these immersive visits. Ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat to ponder fantastical views.
A diorama is NOT a game, nor is it a demo. Simply put, a diorama is a painting you can visit with a simple goal of inspiring a sense of wonder. They are an ideal retreat to think and be somewhere else.
In 'Blocked In' you will visit the workspace of a Russian scientist to enjoy an extraordinary view of the end of the world by tetronimoes, that will leave you āBlocked Inā.
Blocked In is the first entry in 'The Shoebox Diorama', an ongoing series of fantastical dioramas for VR devices by interactive illustrator 'Daniel Ernst'. A diorama can be explored as a standalone experience or as an interconnected experience through the āTable of Contentsā diorama (coming soon), which serves as the central hub.
'Blocked In' was first released in late 2013 for the DK1. For many early adopters āBlocked Inā was their first introduction to VR and has been one of the defining VR experiences. It also coined the term diorama for these types of VR experiences.
