Rising River
A.I. | Virtual Reality | Game Design
A game where players interact with a Chat GPT-based text AI agent to restore a dried-up dark river with self-reflective words, influencing their environment and culminating in the creation of a giant fish symbolizing the shadow self, inspired by Jungian shadow theory and VIA 24 Character Strength.
Referencing Jungian shadow theory and VIA 24 Character Strength, we have crafted a game experience designed to facilitate self-analysis for participants. We will invite players to restore a dried-up dark river with their words about themselves, embarking on a journey of the shadow self. Unlike typical games or narratives, the reason for embarking on this journey, the motivation driving the game forward, is related to the player’s self-analysis. The player’s words will influence this environment and serve as data collection for the portrait of the final giant fish symbolizing the shadow self encountered at the end.
