Playable/Clickable Paper Prototype

• Start building in Twine/PowerPoint to feel through the gameplay sequence.
• Playtest the paper prototype with people.

How to Use Game Systems to Convey the Peace Story

• How does the puzzle convey music theory and cultural contexts?
• We need to put the most effort into this design.
