Kara

I wanted to share with you guys a short demo called Kara. Kara is a robot that is being assembled and she is asked to perform certain tasks. As she does so, the mechanic who is making sure she is ready to go with the others checks everything off the list for her to do to be sold. But, as Kara says that "she thought.." he immediately starts to take her apart. She is overwhelmed and confused and begs him to stop dismembering her. The man has his robots put her back together and she is ordered to go stand back with the others. Kara thought that she was alive until he told her that she was just a robot.

I wish that this wasn't just a demo and that it was a real game. The concept was intriguing, the animation was awesome, there is so much potential for a game or a movie or anything really. I encourage you to watch this. I felt so empathetic toward Kara the entire time and couldn't decide whether I wanted her to stay assembled and be like the others or if I wanted her to be taken apart so she didn't have to be a slave basically. If she was taken apart, though, another one would just be built in her place and then I'd feel empathy for them.
