Interaction Design

Episode 1’s interactions focus on activities and actions in an attempt to steer the day while being met with external events.

Episode 2’s interactions focus on switching perspectives to compare the inner dialogue of the characters with the realities of the situation.

Episode 3’s interactions focus on conversational microaggressions with quick time events as well as multiple choice.
