Why Tell a Story Like Cloud Chamber?

by on May 8, 2014
 

Cloud Chamber is a massively multiplayer online story game that’s inspired by the notion of storytelling with networked computers.

Developed by Investigate North, the game is described, quite entertainingly, as ‘ if Dear Esther had a baby with Reddit’.

Essentially, as we covered here, Cloud Chamber has you working with every other player that’s online to decode and interpret levels and messages to analyse narrative about individuals as well as an over-arching narrative.

The video below is an insight into why Cloud Chamber is telling the story it is, and it’s as wonderful and intriguing as it always is! As our own Adam Cook says, check it out.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
