Woolgatherer

Woolgatherer is the final and major design artefact I produced as part of my PhD. It is an interactive game-like experience that has similarities to first-person narrative experiences like Dear Esther and Gone Home. It is provided here in part as a supplement to my thesis for readers, but freely available to anyone who is interested. 

If you aren't aware of my research, I recommend going in with no knowledge and playing Woolgatherer first. Multiple playthroughs are recommended.

You can also download a version of the Unity plugin I developed for my research, which is used in Woolgatherer.

Please note Woolgatherer is an experimental prototype, and by game standards "unfinished". It has a requirement of at least 8GB RAM and a mid- to high-end graphics card from the last 2-3 years. It is provided as is with no support at present. In the future if I have time I'd like to add some settings and options and iterate on the experience, but my current circumstances mean my focus is elsewhere.
