Narrativa contada através de um cenário de jogo digital

Abstract

This project aims to develop an interactive environment based on environmental storytelling, using 3D modeling as the primary tool to tell the story of a fictional village haunted by an entity inspired by Brazilian folklore. Focusing on visual narrative, the project seeks to create an immersive experience in which the player is invited to reconstruct past events through the exploration of spaces, objects, and atmospheres. The development process was grounded in the methods of Tracy Fullerton, for game design, and Recktenwald, for 3D environment creation, integrating both theoretical and practical aspects of narrative design. Modeling, texturing, lighting, and programming techniques were applied using Blender and Unreal Engine. User testing demonstrated the positive impact of the environment on players’ understanding of the story and reinforced the potential of the scenario as a narrative tool. The final result is an experimental game that combines aesthetics, emotion, and contemplative interactivity to construct a visual and profound narrative.
