Stolen Friend
Cross Platform
In collaboration

“Stolen Friend” is an immersive cross-platform experience about Hoa Hakananai’a, the Moai statue displayed at the British Museum. It supports the idea of decolonization of the British Museum by exploring the story of Hoa Hakananai’a.
The storyline is non-linear by splitting the narrative structure into two with different endings based on the player’s decision of returning the Moai to Easter Island or keeping it at the Museum. It aims to trigger public discussion, by positioning the user as a character of a half-British half-Rapa Nui descent who is given the task of saving the spirit of Hoa Hakananai'a from the British Museum.
