Personal Project: THE NIGHTINGALE AND THE ROSE

The game was design based on the blueprint of a fairy tale named “The Nightingale And The Rose”. It is a voice and puzzle interactive picture book game. The game talk about a nightingale was moved by the love from a college student, she admires true love and finally suicide herself for the love. The game inherited the spirits of its original writer Oscar Wilde, and added the modern love values, aim to let the players experience the love, the despair and the eulogize to love through our game.
The inspiration came from the animation with the same name “Oscar Wilde’s the Nightingale and the Rose” made by AACTA(Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts). We especially attracted by its realistic paste-up style and colors. After read a lot of fairy tales and pop-up books experienced the discussion of physical books board game and AR game. We decided to make an interactive picture book game ultimately. When discussed about the play method, we came up with the “voice” interaction according to the main character, The Nightingale.
