Counting on you
A downloadable game
Roles: Solo Developer
Date: 2020
Engine: HTML/CSS, Twine
Platform: Web
Context: Academic Project
Step into the life in the day of Griffin, a resident doctor at a hospital as he manages a crisis situation of 3 patients whose lives hang in the balance. Make choices as you get to know the patients and your fellow workers in order to do your job and save the lives of those counting on you.
This is an interactive narrative made in the Twine program which is an HTML/CSS wrapper. It features tight writing, branching paths, and multiple endings. I wrote, designed, and coded the entire project and worked with a composer for the music and sound effects.
I learned about designing a narrative in this project as well as using Twine which I had never used before. I used my studies of interactive narrative to complete this project by developing and executing drama and character development. I then learned more about Twine from some smaller projects I had done previously and put it all together to create the interwoven paths and different endings based on decisions.
You can play the game for yourself or you can watch the video for my commentary and thoughts on the game.
