Searching For...

Have you ever felt like the harder you work, the worse it gets?

In this narrative game, Searching For…, you play as a detective story writer, unappreciated and unfulfilled, trying to write the first novel with the help of a neuroscientific project called Oneiros. Use Oneiros to enter imaginary mystery scenes and record your investigations in the form of literature.

Everything seems promising at first, until—your missing high school friend starts to haunt you, reminding you of your failures… Be the detective! look for clues to write! Can you create the perfect novel in your heart? Can you win, or can you win at all? Or maybe you can still find your missing friend, but does she even exist?

This is an MFA thesis project made at NYU Game Center.
