From reading this week I found out it's important to not only know what the game is going to be about but more on how it's going to turn out the emotional response, the narrative of the game, the overall sense and style of the game. From watching the video provided to us and seeing that's no game doesn't start without MDA (Mechanics, Dynamic and Aesthetics. The mechanics of the game are the basic controls or movements even down to the way your player could stand on someone plot from monopoly. The dynamic of the game is the way it is coming across and how to convey it by easily walking, jumping or running. The aesthetics of the game are what you want the player to feel or what type of vision or vibe you want to go out. For example, the game outlast when running away the screen is dark and makes the player weary and always wondering what's around the corner. To the scene and scenario on what you want the player wants to feel there are 8 key components to a game.

• Emotional Response
• Sensation
• Narrative
• Challenge
• Fellowship
• Discovery
• Expression
• Submission

These all have very important roles in a game which allows the creator to see what direction they want to go in. A lot of games get inspiration from other games as now of days there are a lot of multiple-choice games which lets the player choose the path they want to take their character on. An example would be the walking dead series which your choices make a huge impact on the game same goes for Detroit human which is another heavily based choice game.
