SENTINELS
A single-player (role-playing) game set in the GOOGLE EARTH environment, the most AUTHENTIC Earth next to the REAL Earth.
The player guides an unnamed character (HERO), a levitating IMMORTAL, who flies around, navigating through a FIELD of SENTIENT OBJECTS, in the stratosphere, on an orbital path around the globe.
These SENTINELS are inert objects and as they orbit around this satellite-image mapped poly-sphere, they cast shadows on the surface in the absence of a GOOGLE SUN. Under this SHADOW, all breath is withdrawn. When disturbed due to inter-collision or forced displacement, the SENTINELS begin their decent toward the surface, and upon contact they transform into machines of MASS-DESTRUCTION of DATA.
