Storytelling

Jul '23 - Aug '23

Demon Hunter is an interactive visual story for a young audience that teaches them about a bug through storytelling. The story follows Kazuki, a bug warrior trained by his master Akira, as he faces the demon Akuma in a final battle. Through flashbacks of his training and the moment he awakens his dormant power, the audience gets to know the creature’s world and its unique traits. Readers move through the story by clicking, holding the mouse and dragging elements into the correct position, so they take part in the story instead of only reading it.

Challenge

The main challenge was creating a story that entertains a young audience while also teaching them about the bug. The facts about the creature had to be accurate, but they couldn’t feel like a lesson. This meant working the bug’s characteristics into the story itself, so the audience learns them by following the narrative.
