SeriousApps
A win. Then everything.
Overview
A group project that tackles a real-world problem. We picked gambling addiction, and specifically how fast someone can go from winning to losing everything. It is built as a scene-by-scene story: a character wakes up, goes to the casino, wins, then loses it all. Every screen is a beat in that arc, not just a UI screen.
The subject is the point. It is not supposed to feel good to play through, and watching the character’s arc collapse from a win to a total loss was intentionally uncomfortable to build. It does what a serious game should do: make the risk feel real instead of abstract.
What I made
- A scene-by-scene story from first win to total loss
- Every screen written as a beat in the story
- A design aimed at making the risk feel real
