The Ballad Singer is a narrated graphic experience. Game mechanics are based on the comprehension of narrative background and on the player capacity of getting into the character and playing its role. Each choice is essential and all decision-making paths are complete, i.e. have their own narration and illustrations. There is no narrative path –the player is asked to build his/her own path in each game. A risky decision may cause the character to die, or adversely affects an event - this is the reason why in all respects The Ballad Singer is an adventure that challenges the player and makes him/her assess each circumstance.
The game key feature is the wide number of choices – it is a real book, narrated and illustrated in high definition whose plot is created by the player through its decisions.
The Ballad Singer goal is to offer a game experience blending elements from GDR videogames, game books and graphic adventures in an unprecedented, unique format.
