The Prototype

• The player can Hook and Tether puzzle components and NPCs together for a lot of potential Emergent Gameplay solutions to puzzles. 
   

• The Cable itself can be interacted with to knock over Enemies or bounce on.
   

• Served as the foundation for the project. 
  Unfortunately it turned out to be too difficult to make the puzzle components fit and work art-wise so almost everything had to be cut.
