Prompt 3: In this story, italics and the boldening of words are commonly used. Most, if not all, links are words of the same color as the rest of the text but bolded. Furthermore, these bolded words bring up what can be described as the biggest question the player may have of the passage - and is subsequently the topic of the next passage. The bolded words define the progression of the story, from key point to key point - passage to passage. Italics, on the other hand, are not used as links between passages throughout the story. Instead, they are used to, in a sense, highlight important details. For example, the first passage italicizes Nevada and 1867, which both describe to the player right away the overarching setting. Furthermore, along with giving important details, the italics also lean into a bit of foreshadowing. This is first evident in the second passage, where this pivotal point is written. The word “pivotal” being brought to the attention of the player infers that there may be decisions to make - which is exactly the case later in the story. Another text formatting that is used is color changing. In some passages, words are changed to a solid red. This red text will, more often than not, denote something bad. The first instance of this happening is in the seventh passage when the phrase ‘red bandanas’ is turned red - a color change that rightfully stakes itself as a bad omen. The idea of the red text being an omen for misfortune is later reinforced when the narrator details losing their parents to the bandits in red-colored text.
