Taking the role of Henry Edwards, Hyde explores the mind of a business tycoon’s son. Initially Henry is a man who appears to have it all, but as the lines between the past and the present begin to blur, his lifestyle and upbringing begin to be called into question. Hyde’s game-play fits securely into the genre of Interactive Fiction, whilst following a gripping thriller narrative. You need not click on anything in Hyde, nor do you need to remember any complex controls; Just W,A,S & D to move, and move the Mouse to look around. Developed in Brisbane, Australia, with a group of students from Griffith University, Hyde has been roughly 10 months in the making. Inspired by games such as The Path and Dear Esther, Hyde began as an elevator pitch for the Games Design degree in March, 2012, which quickly gained support through the student body, becoming one of the largest projects undertaken by the cohort. Designed to show off the team’s knowledge and ability, Hyde was designed from the ground up to be a showcase of the team’s greatest strengths, such as story and graphics. |
