This is a demo of a game made for one of my graduate courses.

Vicky, a young woman in her 20s, has been having dreams of her recently deceased mother. Despite her father's insistence otherwise, Vicky is determined to go where her mother's past lies – in the decay of the Old Web. Traveling through technology's past, Vicky, her father Angel, and Angel's friend Debra set off to discover the secrets of the ruins. But Vicky soon realizes that not everything is as simple it seems, and some things are best left buried in the past.

A gamepad (controller) will be used to interface with the game. The player uses the controls in the following ways: •

• D-pad to control character movement
• A button interfaces with the world (including NPCs), as well as selecting options from menus
• B button cancels options, as well as going backward in menus
• and the Y button, which brings up the menu screen.

Alternatively, the player may use a keyboard and mouse to interface with the game. In that case, the control scheme is:

• Mouse or arrow keys control character movement
• Enter interfaces with the world (including NPCs), as well as selecting options from menus
• Esc cancels options, goes backward in menus, and brings up the menu.
