The power of a community and the impact of our actions was a leading thought when I created the characters to feature in the game. With input from the narrative team on the main characters, this cast truely came to life.

The biggest difficulty with this game was its serious message about pollution and creating an experience where the player discovers this knowledge for themselves. Making the game a detective insentives the player to pay attention to the information they recieve. With strong character writing and having each character have a perspective, having carefully thought out dialogue and testing ALOT, we managed to come out on top and create a game that gently guides the player to the knowledge we want them to learn.
