Erica

Mechanics

Erica is an adventure game that focuses exclusively on non-linear narrative. The gameplay is limited to the necessary minimum and consists of performing simple activities, e.g. rubbing tears from the main character's face, by swiping a finger on the screen of the device, turning the pages of the book or choosing one of the dialog options. What is important, our actions and decisions have an impact on the further course of the plot. So it is an interactive story in the style of e.g. adventure game developed by Telltale Games.

Technical aspects

The game does not have visuals generated by the console. Instead, we watch cut scenes with real actors on the screen. Developers used a special technique, thanks to which there are practically no breaks during the game. This means that when we make a key choice, neither a loading screen nor a mismatched scene suddenly appear. The effects of our actions are natural and immediate, so during the game, we have the impression of watching a movie.
