After discussion, we figured out that the cursed story was better developed and had more insights, so we decided to go on with the cursed story. However, there was still questions remained for the story as following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to motivate the player to pick the dead flower?<\/li>\n<li>How to show the escalation of the creature consuming the flower?<\/li>\n<li>How to motivate the player to think about the dilemma?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Starting from that, our team focused on details of indirect control and mechanics to solve these problems. For the first problem, we add a lot movement to the creature to make it keep eye contact with the player and react with player\u2019s movement. Also after the flower is given to the creature, it will become excited and cute to let the player feel that he is generous. For the second problem, we reduce the flower change to twice. And during each flower picking, there will be an obvious energy absorbing particle from player\u2019s hand to the flower, the coloring of each flower will have a subtle change. For the final dilemma, we decided to create a lonely\/hopeless moment where the player will feel desperate in the environment which will motivate him to do the choice at the end.<\/p>\n<p>The following is our storyboard:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-129 size-full\"
