Gameplay

What are People? is a isometric, point and click puzzle game. There are three puzzles in total to reflect the tryptic art style, and each puzzle represents a different aspect of my interpretation of imago Dei. Players may control the character by clicking around on screen and various objects.

The goal of the game is to escape this mysterious holding place you have woken up in. After some exploring the player can find other people in this place that can help explain what is happening and hint to the player that there is a way to escape. If the player manages to collect all the fragments of a center piece to the main room the way out will be revieled. In order to do this they will need to complete the challenges of the three puzzles around the map, each one relating to imago Dei.
