Desert Mothers is a meditative, multiplayer networked experience. Players begin in the same procedurally-generated environment.  This begins to diverge for each player as their personal environment, composed of individualized weather and hallucinations, responds emotionally to the player’s actions.

The constraints within which the players interact are discovered during play, and revolve around the body, breath, drawing in the air, and out-of-body exploration of flora, fauna, and abandoned human habitations.

• Meditate, draw, breathe, and watch the environment change in response
• Listen to an abstracted audioscape
• Play the game with others online or solo, in virtual reality (Oculus Rift or GearVR), or with a gamepad if you don't have VR
• Explore abandoned structures or view the perspective of the world from nearby flora and fauna
  
• Communicate gesturally with other players
