first playable game prototype - a concept focused walking sim

A small Window can give you more insight than you might expect, if you don’t walk by but step up and look at whats behind.

Room Overview

Start

Base Character

Mother

Father

Friend 1

Boyfriend

Friend 2

As a young child, the base characters mum is the main person in their life

Getting older, they make friends, grow closer with some and more distant with others

I really liked the idea that, you can only look into a room behind a narrow window if you stand directly in front of it. You can see the window from a distance and even a small part of the room when passing by, but if you really want to know what is inside the room, you need to go close to the window

Then I extended this thought to a more abstract level: you can see a moment of someones life by looking through their eyes.

Going forwards/ backwards you move through time so you can follow a person through their life.
To the side you can see what other people are doing at this point in time. The closer 2 people are to each other in the hallway, the closer they are in their life
