Game for Global Game Jam 2020. Theme is Repair.
Intact items doesn't need to be repaired. People gain confidence and esteem when repairing sth. or helping others out. But some people are so addicted to the feeling of saving others and being the God, so they begin to hurt others in the dark so that they can heal them in the light.
Design Idea
Human Beings are social animals. It is hard for people to live on this world without paying attention to others’ opinions. The existence of families and close friends, as well as the evaluation of the society towards them, accompanied with their own independent thinking and some unavoidable hollowness, complete a person’s heart.
-
People are willing will others to fill their hollowness.
-
People don’t want their existing relationship to be destroyed.
-
People have a field of view with their independent thinking.
-
If they discover in their field of view that someone is trying to break others’ relationship, they will tell each other.
-
If one person is dislike by others, his/her “self” will decrease because he/she may start to think that he/she has done something wrong.
-
If a person dislikes others too much, his/her society evaluation will decrease because people may think he/she as an unreasonable person.
