As they communicate, new storylines and content are revealed, and the characters' reactions depend on the player's decisions, creating the effect
of a personalized interactive story.

Prototypes

Here are game prototypes and concepts developed to test mechanics and game ideas. Prototyping allows you to quickly test game solutions and evaluate the player's interaction with the system.

COFFEE UNDERCOVER

The first episode of a series of onboarding
quizzes in the format of a visual novel is presented. The player gets to know the main character and
the interactive world. The core mechanics are based on a story-driven selection of subjects and answers, which makes the process feel like
a game rather than a test.
