Narrative Directions
Direction 1 – Narrative-based
The game follows around three central characters that are not necessarily human, but all have complex personalities and secrets to uncover via the reel-sending gameplay. They will all be interconnected in contrasting, intricate ways that are initially unknown to the player, but are revealed based on player decisions of which reels they feed to the characters to influence their motivations and actions.
Direction 2 – Puzzle
The player observes each character and their environment, whether that be their bedroom, kitchen, living room, frontyard, office, or elsewhere. Embedded in their environments are aspects of their personality, habits, lifestyle, and values that players can learn via close inspection. Choosing the reels that relate to the characters given environmental clues results in progression in the narrative that is dependent on which reels the players send.
Direction 3 – Real-time surveillance
The player follows the lives of multiple characters as they unfold in semi-real time, of a single day being around 5 minutes. The player would have full freedom in which characters they observe in a set amount of time, but this makes it impossible to look at everyone constantly and trigger every single event, allowing for replayability.
