Eternal Witness

In this atmospheric, cosmic, narrative driven experience, the player is put into the shoes of a monolith computer on a distant moon.

A machine built with the task of witnessing the universe,  logging all the events as they unfold across centuries, hoping one day it's memories can be shared with a sentient race worthy enough.

Embark on this story as told through the eyes of the Eternal Witness.

Submitted for a school project about alternative narratives.

Drawing inspiration from sciencefiction tropes about sentient computers as seen in

2001:Space Oddsey and exstential themes as seen in Outer Wilds .

Meant as an exploration into a narrative told through the eyes of a sentient super computer that experiences time differently and the themes of purpose and existance, and an experiment of alternative forms of gameplay.

Tweaked the scan-times for celestial bodies & added feedback on the reticle on which objects could be scanned. 

The planets and nodes are now named as to give a little more structure and direction to the narrative when reading the text-nodes.
