BA7 - some game play points and functions!

Here are a list of points about the look of the game, potential game play functions and main game features:

• focusing on immersion, nothing to distract the player from the immersion i.e. no maps or buttons on screen
• the player is encouraged to interact as much with the environment as possible, such as playing with leaves, splashing water, open/close doors, turn on lights, tap on glass and even pet Dodger
• shadows will represent/replace people that should be there i.e. in shops
• it is creep and lonely - use of having a shadow figure following you, making you see things (like in Dear Esther)
• light and colour play a big part in setting the mood by having an individual colour scheme for each location and having the use of flushes (A Single Man)
• having Dodger as a guide and overseer - asking Rose questions which determines the ending
• Each story chapter relates to Rose and the stage of loss and grief she is currently at
• The stories are completed by finding all the missing pages in the locations- by finding them all you continue to the next location
• When someones speaking there are no words, just sounds (like in The Legend Of Zelda) subtitles are included
• there is no obviously set location or language = more things for the player to interperate and is more relateable
• want a solitude and alone experience
• can talk to Dodger to find out what you last did and access inventory
