Abstract

Interface is very important to the play experience of a video game; a poor interface can undergo breakdown, breaking the player from being immersed and ruining their experience. In this project we consider the physical interface as an integrated element of the game design which allows us convey the narrative through mechanics across the physical and digital interface. Focusing on the concept of physical restriction, we have created a game in which the mechanics, narrative and interface are designed together in an attempt to create a unique play experience.
