Self-Homicide

Summary
An experience where you strangle an avatar with your own face.
It’s said that strangulation takes about six minutes to result in death. In this experience, for six minutes, you strangle your avatar, witnessing the suffering and the gradual change in your avatar’s body. You will experience the length of time it takes to die.

By allowing users to observe themselves from the outside, this experience transforms suicide into homicide.
