Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

Our first VR piece, 6x9 takes you to a virtual cell, telling a story of the psychological damage of extreme isolation. Right now, more than 80,000 people are in solitary confinement in the US. They spend 22-24 hours a day in their cells, with little to no human contact for days or even decades. We invite you into this world. You can watch the film with or without Cardboard.

6x9 APK: questions and answers

How much space does 6x9 need?

The APK is 21.9 MB, and the app also needs 142.5 MB of extra data (OBB files). Leave about 186.3 MB free for the installation.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
