Description

Gobyworld is Lisha Payne’s IMA capstone project which seeks to answer how the most ‘digestible’ video game could be made. In a study of point-and-click adventure genre games, I made a 15-20 minute short game which is playable on the web for free. The story follows a piece of gum named Goby as he travels out of the stomach into the small intestine, large intestine and rectum/anus. As he tries to leave his old life behind, he learns a lesson in meeting other like-minded peoples.
