The production featured a double turntable stage, a full-stage LED projection wall, art direction by Rebekah Tisch and Wētā Workshop and puppetry by the puppeteers behind the War Horse (film), AchesonWalsh Studios.
Directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt, the cast reflected the real world with actors and dancers of varied mobilities, with Karla Puno Garcia’s choreography/rattan stick choreography incorporating these differences.
[11] The production begins with online gamer Sri, and non-gamer Lorraine, in a garage on Earth.
The creation of the game was an integral part of the development of Other World from the beginning, with project collaborator Ann McNamee approaching the Workshop nearly 10 years ago for creative ideas.
According to Workshop designer Tisch who was involved with the project from the start, "It's possibly a first of its kind, a game that's not actually a game.”[13] During New York Comic Con in November 2023 it was announced that Other World has been transformed into a comic book series featuring a script adaptation and layouts by D. McFadzean, editorial consultation and color assistance by Caitlin Leonard, and pencils, inks, and colors by Keny Widjaja.
