Lost Words: Beyond the Page leads the player into a rabbit hole of emotions to emerge, weary but fulfilled, on the other side of grief. Attend to see how narrative and gameplay work together to create a deep, emotional bond. How metaphors pull the player deeper into the experience and how psychology shaped a story of a girl, a gran and a fantasy world.
Get insight in the level and narrative design techniques used to connect the player's emotional state to that of the player characters. In detail, this will cover: narrative structure based on psychology, the use of words as level design architecture, choice moments as emotional investment and gameplay depth through metaphor-decoding.
Anyone with an interest in writing for games, narrative design, game mechanics design or level design. No previous experience needed.
