A brief synopsis of the project:
One of the first projects done by Artifacts Studio for Red Right Hand Co was Forbidden Sigil. Forbidden Sigil is a Kickstarter-backed physical board game that uses a tablet app as one of its major design parts. The design and Development of the app were completely done by Artifacts Studio.
The key feature of this game was branching storylines. The dungeons players entered on the board game were linked to the app in the form of videos (by entering each room’s code, printed on the physical card, in the app). These videos had different path options which the users had to choose at the end of each video. These paths depict what room to come later, and sometimes resulted in a certain character’s death, also, they would affect which ending the users get at the end of the game and more. The following is a great representation of the game and the companion app.
