GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING
Jules
A puzzle-adventure built around a light-transfer gauntlet, environmental interaction and puzzle-driven world progression.
PUZZLE-ADVENTURE GAMEPLAY
01 / OVERVIEW
Light as a mechanic
Jules takes place inside a gigantic library divided into sectors. Progress comes from solving environmental puzzles by moving light energy between machines and interactive objects.
02 / CORE SYSTEMS
What the player interacts with
Light interactables
Doors, generators, altars and platforms react when their configured light requirements are satisfied.
Environmental progression
Puzzle completion changes the world and opens new areas of the library.
Base interactions
Readable objects and environmental interactions reveal narrative context while the player explores.
