This is a really cool effort by Toronto-based digital boutique Secret Location. Developed to promote the show I Prophesy on Vision TV, the multi-player online role playing game is the first to be created for a TV show. The game allows users to explore 13 different worlds modeled on scenarios from the show, essentially, examining our planet’s future after things like an asteroid shower, nuclear attack, rising oceans, the rise of nanotechnology or utopian societies. We’re hoping that if any of them were to happen it would be nanotechnology. Screw utopia, nanotechnology just sounds way cooler. Check out the game here.
