 What scenes will there be in the game? Laboratory The corridor next to the laboratory The exterior of the building The archive The monitoring room The central space The concept art of  central space The office of the boss of the Kamigaki conglomerate. The vast space is surrounded by concrete walls that resemble building facades. On the walls, one can see rows of bright and dim lights flickering. Upon closer inspection, it can be noticed that each light represents a server. The floor of the space is a shallow layer of water, like a still lake.

I hope to provide players with an immersive experience through excellent game space design. At the same time, I also hope to make the game space a carrier of the narrative. I wish to achieve this through the design of maps, levels, and interactions, so that players can explore, interact and participate in the story just as they do in the real world within the game space.as Ryan notes, ““For a text to be immersive, then, it must create a space to which the reader, spectator, or user can relate, and it must populate this space with individuated objects. It must, in other words, construct the setting for a potential narrative action…” (Ryan, 2001, p.15)” (Ryan, 2003) The story of the game is re...
