On the destroyed Earth, only AI survived who was given a mission: Regeneration of Mankind. It kept recreating the Earth but it always ended up with human extinction. The AI finally landed on the Earth due to its interest in a woman dancing alone before the end of the world.
## About This Game
Last Dance, a full-fledged VR short animation that has been highly evaluated
by many international film festivals and famous artists for its epic scale and
unique VR presentation, is finally available worldwide!
Synopsis:
The human race has devoured itself in war, resulting in the destruction of our
home, the Earth.
Only an AI created by human wisdom was able to survive.
The AI escaped into space and was given a single mission: the Regeneration of
Mankind.
It kept recreating the Earth and humanity over and over, hundreds of times.
However, the cycle of human extinction did not stop – it only repeated itself
every single time.
Just when it seemed history would only repeat forever, a woman danced alone
right before the end of her life.
The AI, interested in this woman, could not help but to land on Earth to ask
her the reason for her Last Dance.
The encounter between the AI and her would change the fate of the Earth.
Director’s Comment:
This story is a “myth” in the distant future, in which a god-like omnipotent
AI falls in love with a human woman.
But what is so attractive about a human to an AI whose existence is beyond
human knowledge?
Perhaps, for an AI that can live forever, the short life of a human is like a
trotting horse lamp, with their inconvenient body bound by gravity.
Maybe under these limitations, their glittering dance may look peculiarly
attractive.
I hope it can become the VR experience that allows us to rediscover the
fleeting existence of human beings and the joy of love through the eyes of AI.

Producer’s Comment:
This is my first time making a feature-length VR animation.
I worked together with Director Hanzaki to create the original story, with our
staff gathering the creativity and techniques from all over the world.
Together, we have successfully created a wonderful work that made full use of
the goodness of VR media.
I would like to thank everyone for their hard work.
For the time being, we will mainly be exhibiting the film at different
festivals.
However, we are planning to broadcast it and release it through events next
year.
Please look forward to it.
