Would you kindly know more about this game and tell me how you feel about this? Bioshock presented its ultimate narrative challenge on our free will. Inspired by that theme, I attempted to try it myself in this game jam!
(If you didn’t get the reference of Bioshock here, I highly recommend you try it out! It’s worth your time!)
The theme of the game jam is Blossom. Walking outdoors, I noticed the weather changed from summer to autumn. It was a strange time of the year when there were green and fallen leaves simultaneously. After seeing the wind sweeping leaves away, I decided to make a game by picking up leaves.
This simple task turned out to be a great way to tell the story about free will. You are asked to find the flower underneath the pile of leaves. You have a narrator talk with you. They are telling you that there is a flower somewhere. But you do not necessarily know if that’s true. Later, I found out that this game started to resemble Stanley Parable when the narrator heavily influences the player’s decision (but my game is relatively linear, though.)
