Artistic Treatment
Crafting an emotional language through minimalism, light, and sound.
The Character's Evolution
The user's avatar is a living metaphor. Its form is not static but a direct, real-time visualization of the moral choices being made. This transformation makes the invisible process of character development tangible.
The Luminous Path
Compassionate choices manifest as warm, internal light. The form becomes more defined yet remains soft and welcoming, suggesting both strength and gentleness—like sunrise through mist.
The Initial State: Potential
The journey begins as an amorphous, semi-translucent form—like captured smoke. This shapelessness represents moral neutrality and the moment before a choice defines character.
The Shadow Path
Harmful choices cause a progressive darkening that consumes from within. The form becomes more angular and imposing, representing how cruelty hardens and isolates us.
Minimalist Philosophy: The visual approach embraces emotional minimalism, stripping away unnecessary details to focus on moral elements. The school corridor exists as an archetypal space, with clean geometric forms that subtly shift based on emotional tension.
Color Palette: The base environment uses muted grays and soft whites as a neutral canvas. Environmental accents shift—warmer tones for connection, cooler blues for tension, and harsh reds for conflict.
Ambient Soundscape: A subtle orchestral foundation (strings, ambient electronics) breathes with the user's emotional state, swelling during tension and softening during reflection.
Diegetic Sound: Footsteps grow heavier with moral weight, whispered voices represent internal dialogue, and an integrated heartbeat heightens high-tension moments.
Gesture as Intention: Interactions rely on natural movement. Reaching out, stepping forward, or turning away are recognized as moral choices, not button presses.
Haptic Feedback: Subtle vibrations represent the heartbeat during tense moments, a feeling of warmth during connection, and a cold sensation during isolation, reinforcing emotional states.
The Corridor: Represents life's transitional spaces where defining moments occur.
Light and Shadow: Symbolizes the presence or absence of connection and empathy, not a simple good/evil dichotomy.
Transformation as Truth: The character’s evolution makes visible the invisible process of how choices shape who we become.
