Benjiamin Poynter's latest project is titled Story Generating Apparatus , a indie game project which was originally conceived as a Master's thesis. Poynter describes as "an exploratory narrative with definitive game mechanics to be implemented for the Oculus Rift hardware." This video showcases a hybrid art gallery space documentation, where the protocol institution was transformed into a vintage arcade  [...], and an abstract teaser for the game's narrative and visuals. Chevy the Cosmic is a washed up game hero from better days, who is about to be the last of his kind. The last known Cosmic cabinet was forgotten in Crossroads Outlet Mall in OKC : soon to be detonated for not surviving the test of time. But Chevy is not ready to leave this world yet and become but a memory. A game soon insinuates where he must become at peace before passing on.
