The Goal

The Goal is not to complete the game, but rather learn on how to make a puzzle. While this puzzle concept is not complete, it is something that can be worked on in the future.

Working Concept

Gameplay

Theme Interpretation

This theme can be interpreted in a lot of ways, and this one took me a bit. So I took it as a challenge rather than a theme. But the theme still sticks. One Room. One Page. One Document. One Character. One Exit. One Color. One Dev. 

Main Mechanics

Puzzle Solving/ARG

This game is basically a Puzzle Solving game made in RPG Maker MV. However, I wanted to add a unique twist to the idea, as using the Game Design Document as a way to solve a puzzle. Mousing over certain words the game will tell you to do so. It will help you solve the room and help you escape it. Or you can brute force it...its only 1000 combinations after all. It might be frustrating to some players as you need to scroll up and down at points. But it shouldn't be too much.

Artistic Direction

Art Theme

The art basically came with RPG Maker MV. Though the only problem was making it Grayscale, as the theme is ONLY ONE, which is the color Gray.

Music

There is only One Track playing to figure things out, it is a nightmare after all.

Voice Over

Hi! Nice to meet you! I am the Sole Dev And Sole Voice Over Artist! Isn't that neat?

User Experience

User Interface

Your basic RPG Maker MV UI. The Reason? Not only Time, but no need to change it for now. Its just ONE BUTTON to use basically.
