On 'As Dusk Falls,' INTERIOR/NIGHT set out to create an original narrative IP inspired by prestige television, with a deeply branching story that would resonate across all possible paths. But how do you deliver a grounded, emotionally authentic experience when the story can go a hundred different ways? The answer is: You learn to exist in a multiverse.In this talk, Brad Kane, Narrative Director at INTERIOR/NIGHT, explores the principles that went into bringing a prestige interactive drama to life, and how interactive writer-designers can use both halves of the brain to navigate a "narrative multiverse." He'll dive into into how, when designing an interactive story, it's important to think in terms of a complex story tree made of meaningful and elegant narrative structuresbut when getting into the flow of the writing, you have to see single branches, individual stories made of characters, emotions, and themes.
