• Metamorphoses– Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a collection of stories
from ancient Roman mythology where characters have morphed into different beings
– Gods, goddesses and nymphs are responsible for these abnormal changes
– Stories are in chronological order– Individual gods and goddesses are involved in
several disconnected episodes

• Game Idea– Avatar: god/goddess– Object: explore worlds, pick up clues, and interact with other
characters to perform tasks (morphing a person into something else); overall goal is to perform all tasks in all stories/episodes
– Nonlinear aspect: each god/goddess has tasks to perform, but they are not dependent on each other, therefore they may be performed in any order
– After you have completed tasks for given god, you take on identity of another god and continue playing
– Sequence of episodes is connected to previous character played, but is not predetermined -> multiple/parallel narratives
