Gameplay
UV Light Puzzles
Paper prototype.
The prototype describes how the puzzle works, what the player can discover in the room where the puzzle is being done and what reward the player gains.
Development.
Originally the UV light was a random item we wanted to add to the game but because it was an interesting addition to a walking simulator, I wrote it into the narrative more which naturally made it into our Core Game Mechanic.
Player journey & Gameplay beats
I planned which path the player would take, in which order they would visit certain rooms, which events would be triggered in those rooms and what the player would find there.
