Immersive Novel

We created an immersive novel game with the concept of a "novel you can experience." In this work, players encounter the ghost of a certain dog, advancing the story by playing and communicating with it. The narrative progresses primarily through "descriptive text," with a unique feature where the player's movements are reflected in the descriptive text, while the text itself guides the player's actions.

This project explores the unique possibilities of AR, offering an experience where players can communicate with people or creatures they wouldn't normally meet, in an augmented reality space that extends the real world—not just through screens or virtual environments. Additionally, by weaving regional elements into the story, we crafted a flexible template that allows for various experiential variations by changing the location and theme.

After completing the game, we hope that the "Immersive Novel" experience becomes a "memory of the place," evoking recollections when revisiting the location. Our goal was to create a new genre of storytelling that delivers such impactful experiences.

This piece was created during a three-day game jam. Collaborating with ねぎさん, 哀上オワリさん, Nonanさん and 國富空太さん, we developed this game in an improvisational, session-like process. Filled with ideas and creative chemistry born on the spot, this work is something we hope you will enjoy experiencing.
