Video Game Writing and Design

Mystery at Mead – In Progress

This was my final project for MS131: Interactive Narrative Design. I created a text-based video game about Lake Mead, the lake above Hoover Dam. Inspired by the lake’s history, H.P. Lovecraft, and pet goldfish; the story centers around uncovering secrets of the mob, and why so many people go out into the lake, but don’t come back…

This game is, simply put, FAR from done. I was restricted by time, and didn’t finish the final product by end of semester. I am continuing to work on it now that I’ve graduated. Here it is, as it stands currently:

note: in the credits I acknowledge that I used ChatGPT in the creation of this work. I forgot to clarify, and will edit the file soon, that AI was used as an assistant to learn HTML, not create any content. All copy is my own work.
