The level design was already complete when I joined the project, so my job, as a narrative designer, as to create the “senior explorer” guide who would be the voice in participants’ ears as they navigated the ruins. I wanted to add an element of humor to the experience, so I made the character of Archibald Diggery the Third a bit pretentious and silly (though ultimately with a good heart). There was an independent developer working in-engine, so I worked out of a google sheet that allowed me to specify what actions would trigger each line. Much of the dialogue was designed to provide hints or clues about the different puzzles, striking a balance between not letting players flounder, but also encouraging them to experiemnt and explore.
