- Onsite Mentor: Mason Smith
For this project, I will be using internet research in the form of video essays or online reviews of relevant games. I will choose four games, two games with alternate endings and two games without. I will compile my thoughts regarding how the ability to interact with the story affected my engagement and will refer to internet resources to assign an overall score on how interactability changed a player's game experience. The end product will be a fully written and planned storyline for an original psychological horror game involving trauma that incorporates my findings. I will then work with Isabelle to create a short 15 - 20 minute long game demo.
