Artifact Adventure

This project is meant to be a way for players to interact with a diversity of cultures by interacting with objects that are important to that culture. The goal of this project is that it can be used by future students as a way for them to explore other cultures.

Introduction

Anthropology often stays within an academic space and for that reason I wanted to create a product that could breach that barrier. As a senior I wanted to apply some of the concepts of my major into anthropology, that is why I decided to make a video game. This game focuses on material possessions and how those can relate to culture. It includes 16 different cultural groups and an object  that is viewed as valued in their culture. At the end of the experience I hope to have sparked curiosity about one of these cultures in every player.
