Solution
A. Art-Driven Storytelling: We collaborated with the talented Indonesian artist, Brigitte Rena, to convey the narrative through evocative artwork, rather than relying on textual dialogue. This approach aimed to elicit emotions and connections solely through visual artistry.
B. Narrative Puzzles: We integrated puzzles that mirrored the emotional journey of the characters. Players needed to engage deeply with the story, solving puzzles that unveiled the heartfelt moments and complexities of love and life.
C. Surreal World Design: Our team created a surreal world composed of fragmented memories and time. These disjointed rooms served as metaphorical manifestations of the characters' emotions, enhancing the immersive storytelling experience.
