Do you know about the famous horror novel Abnormal? It is an interactive horror novel by author Sam Kabell, which is not to be missed by fans of horror novels. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a game designed based on this novel? That was no longer a distant dream when the game Unnatural was born, based on that famous horror novel but with a few transformed elements.
INTERACTIVE HORROR NOVEL
The great thing about the game is that every decision you make will directly affect the story, and the ending can change. Therefore, every decision you make needs to be carefully calculated and considered.
- Choice-based storytelling: When participating in the game, you will be critical, deciding the fate of yourself and those around you. When you make different decisions, the plot also goes in different directions. Therefore, nothing is certain; you will have to make wise decisions to achieve the ultimate goal.
- Personalized narrative experience: As mentioned above, each decision will have different results, so players will experience a variety of other storylines.
- Literature meets gaming: Perhaps this is an extremely special element because few games have it. The game merges a novel’s depth with a video game’s engagement, offering players a rich, immersive experience.
TEXT-BASES GAMEPLAY
This is the only game that stimulates your imagination without graphics or sound effects. It relies on descriptive text to evoke vivid imagery and tension, making the horror feel personal and immediate.
- Stimulates player imagination: The game strongly stimulates the player’s imagination because each person will have different imaginations. Without sound effects, just text, players will be immersed in the world of the story, from which they describe vivid and realistic images. Many times, those images are even ghostly and scary.
- Widely accessible format: This graphic was designed to be inclusive. The game is accessible to those with visual impairments, allowing everyone to experience the terror.
- Focus on storytelling: The absence of visual distractions ensures a focus on the narrative, drawing players into a world where the story is paramount. Players will be completely immersed in the story, making more informed decisions.
