"Really wonderful."
            –George Saunders in New York Magazine

It's the eve of the Civil War and President Abraham Lincoln is struggling with not only the fate of the nation he leads, but also the recent loss of his young son Willie. In this immersive narrative VR short, created as a companion piece to George Saunders' novel Lincoln in the Bardo, Lincoln pays a nighttime visit to the haunted cemetery in which his beloved son has just been laid to rest. The viewer is placed in the perspective of one of the ghosts stuck in the "bardo", or purgatory, between life and afterlife. Additional press about the piece can be found in Variety, Entertainment Weekly, and Fast Company.
