This choice is made by flipping to the panel highlighted next to the choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Character Sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"437\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Slide9-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Slide9-5.png 437w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Slide9-5-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Character Sheet Concept<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tokens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not used by the player, used to calculate which ending you get. You get + or &#8211; tokens throughout the game dependant on the choices you make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Increase skill levels by doing skill-based actions. A skill-based action will use a d6 to calculate the gains (Charisma and Moneymaking). Skills have 1-4 levels, each level adds +1 to the gains (Charisma and Moneymaking). Some actions will be locked without a certain minimum skill level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Moneymaking <\/strong>&#8211; actions that make money use this skill<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Printing<\/strong> &#8211; actions that print books use this skill<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charisma<\/strong> &#8211; social interactions use this skill<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Knowledge<\/strong> &#8211; actions that need knowledge use this skill<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Needed to print books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suitcase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where the player stores items that they collect that are relevant later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Books<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where the player marks how many books they have printed and how full the rebellion library is. This needs to be complete to get the rebellion ending. Each row of books completed adds a knowledge skill level. I felt that this was important to emphasise the importance of education and knowledge, demonstrated through the game mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"436\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Slide10-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Slide10-5.png 436w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/01\/Slide10-5-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Relationship sheet concept<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relationships are important throughout the narrative: gain allies that will support you and give you information. Certain characters have a dynamic affiliation that you can change by befriending them. The player can keep track of their relationships by using the relationship sheet. Relationships will have a big impact on your token score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puzzles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Puzzles will manifest as hidden numbers and objects that can help you make choices throughout the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-89b4c9e9 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/2026\/01\/09\/user-experience\/\"><strong>USER EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ob6g23\/2026\/01\/09\/experience\/\"><strong>EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiple Choice When faced with a choice, the player can make the choice either for free, or by spending money, or by unlocking a choice by befriending\/building skills.
