Abstract
SITE UNSEEN prototype (SUP) is an experimental game made in Unity. It runs on Windows-based computers and is played with a gamepad or mouse and keyboard. It can be played in 10 to 20 minutes to completion. In SUP players take on the role of the Cartographer, a being with special perceptual abilities that allows the exploration of multiple spatial dimensions at once, through a unique ‘shifting vision’ view. This view can shift from one to four simultaneous split on-screen first-person perspectives during runtime. Each view reveals different layers of the environment.
As players navigate and explore their onscreen first-person view responds to their movement, orientation, and surroundings, allowing them to find pathways and solve visual puzzles. Through playing close attention to the world and how it can be seen players can further their understanding of the world and unravel its secrets.
