"Galoshans" is an immersive, mobile enabled Halloween experience connecting ancient values with modern practice. "Galoshans" seeks to dispel the idea of Halloween as a shallow, consumerist holiday by highlighting key lessons it can teach us. Indeed, even the name "Galoshans" represents a Gaelic-Scots name for the practice we now call "Trick or Treat!" You will be dropped into a richly detailed 360-panoramic world, where you will return to childhood and go door to door. However, instead of candy, you will receive essential parts of your own soul: innocence, compassion, curiosity, tradition, courage, wisdom, and sacrifice. Each home you visit will be decorated in theme for the virtue it represents.
By the end of your journey, I hope you will gain a deeper understanding of this holiday and what it represents. The journey is laid out as follows:
There will be a large viewport at the top of the screen. This viewport is a 3D graphic that you can look around in, creating an entire Halloween world for your enjoyment. Be sure to check out the sky and ground below you, as well! There is a description of each scene you are viewing below the viewport. There are also buttons to go forward and backward there.

You will get the hang of it!
It's easy! You can start the game by scrolling to the bottom of the page, through our artist bios
