I didn&#8217;t want to just make a traditional horror game; I wanted to develop the game around the emotions themselves. There can be scary elements in the game, but I don&#8217;t want horror to be the entirety of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was at this moment that I thought of the draft I had abandoned, so I subconsciously thought of the word &#8220;human.&#8221; When I wrote the word &#8220;human,&#8221; I had some ideas.

I wanted to showcase the complexity of human emotions through games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, I started getting inspiration from the draft I had previously abandoned and devised two ideas, asking for feedback from others (these two ideas are discussed in the foundational ideas section of the restart chapter).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on the mind map I created, I confirmed that I would design this GDD with emotions as the focus.
