How to come up with an idea for “Beneath the Surface” that is original? Now that is the question I asked myself, and luckily came away with something not involving digging (well literally, that is). My idea – if I can complete it in time – involves metaphorically “digging” into the heart of a lovestruck individual and watching as the emotions within play out as a short story. This will be accomplished by using a multiple levels layered on top of one another with each level representing an emotion. The player must dig down beneath the surface of each, switching across layers, to continue through the story. I got the idea from how I feel personally now: confused, stressed, and worried about someone I like. Yay emotions.
