t first, I wanted to create a game about "patterns" inspired by the Persistence of Vision. In this game, players would trigger a series of visual images through the text-based storyline. Eventually, they would focus on one image and read different images, leaving a "afterimage" in their reality. Reflecting on the prototype and experiencing the process from a player's perspective, I realized that it needed more interactivity to engage players actively. The process required their active participation for the image to form on their retinas. As a result, I introduced a mechanism of "psychological quizzes" similar to the MBTI test. Players could get test results and progress to the next steps through options. Currently, it's still a demo, and the complete game will require further testing. Eventually, there will be an image-based scoring system, allowing players to get answers about their personality, psyche, and mental state while leaving a Persistence of Vision image in reality.
