Tick Tock: A Tale for Two
Time Elements in Narration :
- Ravn family, the watchmaker.
- Elder sister Amalie Ravn was born in 1915；younger sis Lærke Ravn was born in 1917 and died or disappeared in 1937. [*2019]
- Amalie is gifted in clock making. She’s an inventor and believes that time can not only be measured by clocks but also stored for extending her and her sister’s life. (So she did experiments with animals… 🙂) [*love? the longer the better? suffer? euthanasia?]
- Amalie studied in Switzerland in 1932, returned in 1937 and began to concentrate on the technology of storing time in clocks. She used human as experiment object as well. [*metaphor?]
- Professor Schar agreed on her opinion that it’s not fair to have a short life span. (And he died soon after… 🙂)
- Amalie gave Lærke the clock as a gift in 1937, but Lærke was reluctant and her life was absorbed in the machine due to the crack on clock face by accident.
- At the end of the game, it will show how long it takes from players and bottle it as fuel of this time machine… [*not bad?]
Time Elements in Design:
As long as we spend time in this game, Amalie and this whole story lives. As long as Amalie is alive, Lærke won’t be forgotten and her soul can live in the land of the dead.
