Narrative Structure
The game presents a single, feature‑length film that unfolds like a suspense story, yet it is designed to change based on player input.

Interactive Decision‑Making
Between variable scenes, Dr. Turner asks you questions about the characters, and your answers directly shape the course of action and the story’s final outcome. This mechanic places the player in a role that influences narrative direction without requiring additional gameplay systems. Each decision feeds back into the unfolding plot.
- Consider the character’s perspective before answering.
- Reflect on how your choice might affect later scenes.

- Track how early answers influence later analysis.
