Genre: Super Hero Sandbox
Role: Author
Final Outcome: Prototype Game Script
Production Time: January 2009 – April 2009
I wrote this script mostly as an exercise to develop my narrative abilities. In this script the golden path of a game is revealed. The player assumes the role of the main character whom has intentionally been left nameless. They are kidnapped from their apartment and experimented upon by quite literally a mad scientist.
The script has two layers of duality to it. The first layer is that the player can choose which gender they wish to play as. This is to help them immerse themselves into the role more. So as the game plays the characters will either refer to the main character as a he or she based on this choice. However, there is another layer of duality, that has to deal with the player’s gameplay style. If the player chooses to be violent and destructive not caring for what they destroy or whom they injure they will be cast as more of a villainous type character and woo the brother of the family that saves the character at the start of the game. If the player chooses to keep the violence to a minimum and try to not destroy their surroundings then they will be seen as more of a virtuous character by everyone else and woo the sister of the family.
