Tutorial Styles in Multiplayer Games: A Case Study of the Game Haunted Heist
In I Can Hear U, players step into the shoes of a young woman who, one ordinary morning at the office, receives a chilling message: Zhaodi, a classmate from junior high school, has died by suicide. Moments later, reality fades. The player awakens—back in the classroom of her youth. But this is no ordinary flashback. In Chinese folklore, only the dead can send dreams to the living. The world she now explores is a dream crafted by Zhaodi herself— her silent scream. As the player navigates surreal classrooms, haunted hallways, and Zhaodi’s desolate childhood home, they uncover buried truths.
Vacillate is a 2D side-scrolling platformer that focuses on feelings like being lost, out of place, or unsure of where you belong. Players move through two different worlds at the same time—one drawn digitally and the other painted with watercolors. When the player hits an obstacle, the screen flips upside down, sending them to the other world and resetting their progress. The mix of visual styles and constant changes is meant to make players feel disoriented and emotionally unsettled.
