Abstract
Arty Swirly Colourful (ASC) is an interactive relaxation experience. While most games focus on challenge, excitement, fear, or bombast, ASC seeks to provide the player with a calming, relaxing escape from everyday life. Players will freely roam a fantasy world, discovering various points of interest, and observing the beauty of nature’s ever-changing presence. ASC is far from a traditional game; it does not feature a core conflict, obstacles, forced guidance or objectives. Players are free to explore at any pace, in any direction they want, over as many play sessions as they like. ASC can also be enjoyed passively allowing the player to engage as much or as little as they choose.
