Gameplay 
Overview of Gameplay 
As  any  other  RPG  and  adventure  game  this  one  includes  a  travel  and  a 
redemption  of  the  main  character.  In  this  case  we  change  the  main  character 
common genre (masculine) for a woman and also we include a darker backstory 
that  push  the  character  forward  in  the  action  and  finally  redemption  of  what 
she attempt in the first place.  
This  game  is  also  a  tribute  to  all  the  FPC  games  and  we  have  the  particularity 
that  the  player  never  see  the  main  character  because  we  want  that  the  player 
can  identify  itself  as  the  character  so  this  can  have  its  physical  appearance  or 
the appearance of someone familiar in it's life.  
The  possibilities  with  a  magic  environment  are  enormous  and  the  main 
character  can  develop  in  different  ways  depending  in  which  other  characters 
trust  even  failing  in  the  last  mission  if  didn't  do  the  right  collection  in  the 
imitate before level.  

Player Experience 
All  the  game  is  viewed  through  the  eyes of the main characters, also in order to 
be more immersive the game is planted in 3D emulating our world.  
Using  the  main  explication  video  that  introduce  the  player  in  the  game  and 
confess  that  the  whole  game  is  a  prophecy,  we  decide  to use this images as the 
interface  you  can  see  when  you  play,  so  the images of each level and the panels 
of starting and game over are replicated from the pages of the books prophecy.  
The  main  idea  in  the  game  is  the  redemption  of  the  character,  she  have  to 
purge  her  crime  and  in  the  process  save  the  village  from  the  monster.  In  this 
order  of  ideas  the  mission  for  you  is  prove  that  you  are  worth  it,  no  only 
fighting  against  the  monster  but  also  collecting  and  exploring  the  world  that 
she,  the  main  character,  have  to  save.  Involving  with  the  other  characters  and 
learning  the  mechanics  of  this  world, all this in order to help her to earn points

Game Aesthetics & User Interface 

All  the  game  is  made  in  the  software  Maya  with  an  aesthetic  low  poly.​ This was decide
in order to be caricatured but without loosing the "realistic" aspect we want for the game. Also
all the characters at exception of the monster does not have a face. This is because the minster
take away the emotions and feelings of the villagers and that is the most important mission for
the player give back the emotions of the villagers and to the main character. All the game is a
metaphor of the depression and the battle against it.
