About This Game

Six transmedial filmproducers, designers and storytellers decided to take the innovative transmedia theory to the game industry. The gameplay of this Indie puzzler is something players probably haven't seen before. The experiment and goal was to create a transmedial game and Highlight is the proof of concept. The proof of concept will take about half an hour to finish.

In Highlight the player walks around inside of the head of Roos Deelstra and at the same time search around in her Instagram feed. The player will need Instagram to find the answers to the in-game puzzles presented in Highlight.

The player will see two sides of Roos Deelsta during the adventure. The way she portrays her life on social media and how her life really is.

I really liked this game, it makes even a dumb idiot like me think outside of the box and it promotes thought, it tackles the issues of the modern day media and for me personally it hit a soft spot on the subject of depression linked to social media. i'd suggest this game to anyone who wants some food for thought and a cute well put together small game that doesn't take up much of your time but will stay with you for a long while

[b]7.5/10[/b] I quite enjoyed Highlight. Although the general trajectory of the story would likely be familiar to those who keep up with articles on the psychological effects of social media (e.g. Essena O'Neill), Highlight presents its story in a compelling way. I've often thought of social media as a "highlight reel," and some of us can feel that our "ordinary" lives pale in comparison. Therefore, I thought the game was rather aptly named. I liked the way that Roos' surroundings were a representation of what she had posted online. In one room there'll be a snowman and a graduation gown, and in the next a beach and dress from a night out. What would a life (or environment) look like that was solely constructed from social media posts? What is left out? I also found the puzzles to be clever and intuitive. I don't consider myself to be particularly adept at puzzle games, and I was able to figure out each prompt with relative ease. However, I'm still curious what the "CW," "BF," and "...
