- Synopsis
- Cam is a ’techno-hermit'. He conducts every aspect of his life from the comfort of his electronically automated smart-home. Work, shopping, entertainment and most notably: socialising. Cam interacts with strangers on the platform ‘Hello Stranger’: a randomised video chatting website like ‘Omegle’ or ‘Chat Roulette', which pairs him with a random user from around the world for a video call. He can cycle through different users at his own discretion – ultimate control… until he encounters a masked stranger with an altered voice. Unnerved, Cam leaves the call only to find ‘The Stranger’ has hacked his smart-home and locked him in. ‘The Stranger’ tells Cam that he must win three games or it’s ‘Game Over’.
