Overview

The man maintains a stressed expression as the scenery scrolls by rapidly, simulating a frantic rush to a flight.

A gamified narrative that presents a character in a high-stakes situation and gives the viewer an interactive task to 'help' them. The video creates an illusion of progress based on the viewer's interaction but never resolves, looping seamlessly to maximize engagement and replayability.
