Abby's Diary

Description

A story-based, first-person hidden object game. Abby comes home from the hospital after a failed suicide attempt and can't remember anything. Her family doesn't seem to be there anymore. To find out where they are and what happened, she reads her diary. The concept of the game is similar to the search pictures in magazines. Only three-dimensional. The game is divided into four chapters (rooms). Each chapter has two instances: the present and the memory. The connecting link between these instances is the diary (trigger: pictures at the end of each chapter). With it you are taken back to the memory. There you take a good look around and try to remember everything. You have only limited time, then you come back to the present. Here you have to search and select what has changed compared to the memory. Once you have found the right combination, the door to the next room opens and the next diary entry is available. The project is a four-person team effort.

the game is still in development but it is already fully playable. Since the book was written entirely in analog and then scanned, there was no quick way to make a translation. The current version is in German, but this does not prevent you from solving the puzzles.

Warning: contains mentions of suicide, self-harm and violence.
