Banned Together - Unity Demo

Banned Together is a first-person narrative puzzle game that asks the question, “What do books mean to us?” You will play as Ruby, a trans college student on a surreal, after-hours adventure in a campus library, where you’ll investigate the impact of book banning and erasure at a liberal arts college — and spark a new queer relationship that sustains Ruby’s ongoing fight for justice.

This new demo showcases our ongoing work to translate the Bitsy prototype of Banned Together into a full-scale Unity implementation.

FEATURES

• There are no locks or keys, no tools or skill levels. This is a MetroidBrainia, which means that knowledge - attention to clues, engagement with the story - is the only way you'll progress through the many puzzles of this mysterious library.
  
• Use the red heart sticker to focus Ruby's thoughts on particular journal entries, and hone in on important objects and leads.
• Ruby's journal records all dialogue in the order that you heard it, and keeps a record of your unique version of the Banned Together story. 

CONTROLS

• WASD: Walk
• Hold shift: Run
• Mouse: Look around
• Tab: Open Ruby's journal. When the journal is open, click and drag with the mouse to turn pages, or press any key to close the journal again.
• Esc: Pause the game, or optionally return to the main menu
