Stage a scene that can be read
A head-on collision, a crossing sports car, and a turning truck each become a spatial investigation. Seven clues connect object placement to an explanation of what happened.
Interactive narrative / Design & development
Echo of Crash

The decisions behind the game.
Make understanding compete with urgency
Investigation and ten rescue opportunities share limited time. Three difficulty settings change the timer and rescue costs; persistent Spirit connects decisions across the journey.
Guide attention without giving away the answer
Contextual prompts, delayed hints, inspectable journal objects, and a change from driving to small-scale exploration support discovery. Avoiding a crash is also a valid, rewarded outcome.

Game design and development: encounters, investigation, rescue logic, narrative progression, and interaction.
Project and licensed environment assets, Mixamo animation sources, AI-assisted illustration and synthetic English voices, plus original procedural and selected CC0 audio.
Evidence & next steps
What the work demonstrates.
The public repository is a C++ source showcase, not a complete clone-and-build Unreal project: maps, Blueprint assets, and licensed content are not included. Use the playable release to experience the game. Documented checks and informal feedback are not a controlled user study.
The playable build is the primary evidence; the portfolio explains the intent, implementation, and revisions behind it.
