research
Our historical research was based on the numerous records of the Archive of the Prefecture of Cyclades, as well as testimonies of the local population and architectural & urban planning study records.
The application was developed based on the principles of gamification.
Hero's Journey
The hero is a time traveler, responsible of delivering a letter to a specific household name. To succeed they must follow the clues.
For the UX testing were used original scenarios and low fidelity prototypes. The users were scattered all over Hermoupolis trying to find the clues. Their reactions and observations were recorded to be studied. The gameplay is based on 'serious game' principles.
