1 2 3 Arizona Innovators REFLECTIONS EMILY Emily is one of several characters that can be a significant part of your life in Reflections. HOME The game opens on the last day before your character goes off to college for the first time. REFLECTIONS – A game about evaluating life choices See how big changes resulted from small interactions – the life choices we make! Reflections uses a unique black-and-white aesthetic to turn story into gameplay. The game begins right before you are about to head out to college and start your own life as an adult, then takes you through a series of moments throughout the decades that show how your choices along the way had an impact. Everything in the world, from characters to objects, is interactive, and allows you to change the outcome of the story by what you choose to do while you play. If you spent your time playing basketball or listening to music, you'll have a very different story than someone who spends their time with loved ones or preparing for the next big goal. Reflections is a game about crafting a unique story to each player. The game plays through a series of timed moments in your life and sweeps through every key moment, leading up to the end of your life. It's a very unconventional ending and there's no traditional way to "win." Every player will be able to complete the game regardless of their "skill" playing videogames, and will get a unique outcome based on their choices. Reflections is primarily a game about experiences, rather than explicit goals, but the world is littered with possibilities for the player to explore. Game Colab worked with us as a strategic partner. We were connected with experts and advice to help us make the right decisions. It was great to have a network of support to help us during our first year. For information about Reflections contact Tristan Moore at 575-805-1919. www.brokenwindowstudios.com
