Assemblies

For this side quest, I constructed the picture around the image of an iceberg. A great portion of an iceberg is usually buried beneath the ocean surface, similar to the inner meanings that games convey.

Twine Game Reflection

Game Comparison Reflection

Throughout the times writing this essay, I went back to the two games, Gone Home, and Gris, in order to gain a refreshed memory of how these games felt like to me. Repeated play-throughs of these two games were definitely not as enjoyable as the first time, but it did help me gain a better
