Game Overview
The name of the game is Neo-Human. It’s an adventure and exploration role-playing linear storyline game, similar to famous games like The Last of Us, Final Fantasy, and Uncharted, where a fixed storyline is described, and the player is expected to follow a predetermined set of steps in a predetermined order. The advantage of this type of game is that you can better control the pace of the game and the emotional experience, which is suitable for my kind of game where the focus is on the narrative. However, some players may feel that the fixed flow limits freedom, so this game is aimed at players who enjoy storytelling and immersive experiences and is well-suited for newcomers and those with limited time. The overall flow of the game is relatively short, with fewer side quests and exploration. The main purpose is to give players a better focus on the development of the game’s story and turning points and enjoy a cinematic narrative experience.
