- The game is phygital. It means that in order to progress and to solve puzzles, you'll need to read
the notebook created for the game. Inside are bits of lore, as well as hints to help you solve the
puzzles.
- The localization and cutscene systems are inherited from Harold's
Quest. For the localization, it's an exact copy. In the case of the cutscene system, only
the global logic was kept. In order to facilitate the game designer's work, I decided to handle the
scripting part as a nodal system, instead of the scripting language I used for Harold's Quest. I
used XNode to implement the nodal system.
- The player moves around with a fixed camera angle. Certain triggers can change dynamically the
camera's angle with or without a transition. The direction the player walks towards depends on the
camera's rotation.
- The in game puzzles are diverse, and need you to read the notebook in order to be solved. You can
also look at the environment to solve them.
- Accessibility was of great importance during developement. For instance, you can enable outlines
around interactable objects, or change the size of the text.
