The Fortress is a story-driven video game for computers where choices and interactions explored within the game result in different outcomes. Its main mechanics correlate with social interactions: by switching between two characters with different personalities, the player needs to unravel the mystery of each puzzle/level of the fortress.
The project was created under the aegis of the Multimedia Art Department and the Instituto Superior Técnico Master’s Degree in Games.
