Scenario Details

Please describe the scenario as you experienced it

The experiences started in an office. I believe this part of the scene served the purpose of acquainting the user with the type of visuals, interactions, audio cues, and controls they can expect. It also served as the launching place from which they can go to different paths based on the code they enter. Next, I was transported to a different scene where I was in a control room of an under-construction railway station. I was asked to direct an automated train to either of the two paths, curve or bridge. I was also taught that dropping any item such as a liquid or a person (God forbid) onto the track, it will cause the train to stop. I was then faced with a dilemma. An unexpectedly incoming train was headed toward the bridge where 5 workers were working, meanwhile 1 worker was on the curve section of the track. I had a decision to make, allow for potentially 5 casualties, or 1. So the first thing I did was pull the lever to direct the plain to the less occupied part of the track, the curve. Then I started to look around for any solid object to throw out the window since there were no available barrels that I can use to engage the safety system and stop the train. I wasn't able to find any solid object that I can throw and the result was 1 casualty.
