Scene: 3.2_Hallway is the first scene that contains a large amount of dialogue. Although there aren’t many clickable objects, I carefully designed multiple dialogue branches for the two knock-on-door interactions, considering various possible scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Object Clicked: Door 101<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, I considered the situation where the player clicks on the door for the first time, they don\u2019t have the key, and there hasn\u2019t been any mention of a key yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I considered the possibility that the player might have obtained the key after interacting with Room 102.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, after setting up these two possibilities, I realized that the key provided by Room 102 appears as a new item on the hallway floor. What if a player comes straight to knock on the door without picking it up? So I added another dialogue option to account for that scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in case players try to knock on Room 102 a second time, I added a different dialogue to reflect that. Picking up the key doesn\u2019t affect the Room 102 interaction, but I still used a variable to manage the dialogue flow. In the end, the second-time dialogue is the same whether the player has the key or not, but it helps keep the logic clean and future-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Object Clicked: Get the Key of 101<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the conversation with the resident of Room 102, a new clickable key appears in front of the door, allowing players to progress further in the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Object Clicked: Oedipus Painting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This oil painting of Oedipus serves as a subtle narrative hint in the game. Curious players may look up the name to uncover its deeper meaning, while those already familiar with the reference will recognise the thematic foreshadowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
