KronoDonum

KronoDonum is a two-player gift exchange played across two screens. Players use custom controllers to type in memories and requests, conjuring objects into their counterpart’s world—offerings in a conversation of care. When both players place the same gift object in the same area on their respective maps, the object will solidify and become part of the shared environment. If either player becomes inactive for 15 seconds, their contributions to the shared world will dissolve. KronoDonum is a meditation on digital nesting and the fleeting tenderness of an online friendship—it was inspired by a true year-long friendship that evolved on VRChat during the pandemic, which dissolved when offline life took over.
