Our take on HyperPortals
The defining detail is its three-dimension structure: portal selection leads into a narrative of choices, scene changes, story fragments, and a beam-control mini-game.
What is HyperPortals?
HyperPortals is an adventure built around portals, text, choices, and a beam of light moving through the void.
Players choose which portal to enter, complete mini-game levels, move between scenes, and search for chapters of the story. The game includes questions, communication with its author, decisions with consequences, and several possible plot branches. Achievements can be earned during play. Its themes include abstraction, meaning, randomness, and perception. The plot also includes a fact about doors and refers to the popularity of the group The Doors at the end of the 1960s. The experience combines narrative progression with light interaction across several dimensions.
