With Bushy Tail, we want to create an original and unique narrative in a simple adventure game. We want to tell a mellow story about coping with the loss of a close one, using up-to-date narrative mechanics in a fairy tale form implemented into the current anti-game trend.Up to date, there have been no games on the market to tackle this very important issue. In games that exist today, death is always a punishment for the player, a way of letting him know he did something wrong. It is neccessary to show a different perspective on death cut out for the needs of a youthful player.The main concept behind the project is to find a perfect balance between a bitter story and an intelligent and enjoyable form of interaction. We synthesise popular adventuring mechanics and are trying to achieve a new quality by mixing elegant and simple visuals with contextual control over the character. We want to invoke emotions and provoke thinking and touch players with a story as much as with the style of narration and animation and visual representation of the in-game world.Game mechanics are based on merging minimalist explorative mechanics with dialog mechanics. We provide the ability to observe and influence the story on a seemingly insignificant level. These, combined, form a mode of experiencing built on emotions and subtle moral choices.We direct the game to the younger generation searching for answers to difficult questions (the game is designed for an audience of 12 years of age and more). The game presents two ways of coping with loss of a close one. In the final stage of the game, it will be the player's the main task to decide between two psychological approaches toward the problem at hand.Currently, culture participants are more prone to identify with virtual characters' problems.The game is based on true events from the life of one of its creators. The experience learned from them has been put into game form by scenario, dialogs and character design.
