Our take on Best Day Ever
The experience is divided among four protagonists whose separate stories may connect, with choices determining how each account ends.
What is Best Day Ever?
This narrative game follows Emma, Jordan, Jenny and Paul as they manage daily challenges in Waters City.
Their stories involve workplace sexism, a university basketball tournament and a relationship, study anxiety, and a mayoral campaign. Decisions change events and determine each story’s ending.
