Description
PLAY HERE - philome.la/xolaen/a-day-in-ted…
Some Features:
- Choose-your-own-adventure style (with pictures on each page)
- 4 different endings
- Facts about depression integrated within passages
Goal: To explore teenage depression in a manner that feels more personal and approachable.
A Day in Ted's Life is somewhat of an experiment, to see if making a game about depression is effective or not. We figured that something interactive might engage people more than just a presentation that regurgitates facts.
However, this game is by no means the definition of depression. Symptoms vary vastly depending on people, and there are differences between teenage and adult depression, too. We made a character to focus on the type of depression we know best.
Programs:
Art - Adobe Photoshop
Story format - Twine 2
Idea was inspired by Depression Quest (a similarly styled game)

This was kind of a rushed school project, so if you find any issues or have critiques, please feel free to share! It was hard juggling this project with all other schoolwork, but somehow my partner and I made it :"D
I don't know if I will really change anything though, cause I do want to focus on my other projects.
This was a nice introduction to different mediums I guess.
