Unfolding

NB: Best played in 16:9 screen resolution! 

Unfolding is a procedural narrative toy about meeting someone new in an unfortunate time, inspired by our own emotions and struggles from living in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is a prototype developed as part of a Master Thesis on co-authorship in games, and it explores how to make expanding grammars into gameplay mechanics. It mixes authoring the narrative arc with exploring and unfolding text.

Unfolding is built upon Tracery by Kate Compton.
