Our take on Diptych
Most of the game is structured as reading through illustrated scenes: it has more than 100 scenes, and the majority advance by scrolling through the story.
What is Diptych?
Diptych is a narrative adventure set during the First World War, following anthropomorphic animal characters whose brief meeting takes place on a battlefield.
The story follows two storylines and offers several possible plot developments. Across more than 100 scenes, most of the gameplay involves reading and scrolling onward through the narrative. Illustrations reveal the protagonist’s story and changing circumstances, while animated images, dialogue, and atmospheric music accompany the scenes. The visual artwork was painted on paper with watercolors before being transferred into the game. The narrative includes surviving a battlefield, meeting a love interest, and discovering events behind the front line.
