Design Process

Important note: This part is about the process of designing this game with a focus on the narrative.

The Goal

Our goal was to show the injustice that exists toward women in a realistic way.

The Constraints

• Short development time (as required by the assignment's criteria)

• Limitations of Twine as a game engine

The Main Challenge and the Solution

• Believability of the world, the characters, and the conflict:

Developing the world and the characters was a challenge that affected the believability of them. We wanted the story to feel real, but due to the limited time and the short length of the game, we decided to set an exaggerated tone in order to communicate the points quicker and easier. However, based on the feedback we received from the players, we realized that we were successful in telling an emotional and believable story.
