Isolata Isolata

ISOLATA is a series of mobile web-based interactive audio games from It's Not A Box Theatre, designed to be experienced entirely in your home. We begin with a trilogy of thrillers, each an original story from a different subgenre, all exploring connection and trust in our collective isolation.
