Prompt 3: Describe how the text is formatted.

Formatting is a very important part of the experience in this game. The beginning sentence is “You're blind, don't tell them you can see.” and the "you can see" part is crossed out, which shows a sense of rejection, like the character is closing him/herself. This impression continues to strengthen in the beginning of the game, as the player is blind because of an accident. To give the player the impression of loneliness is crucial because it reflects the change which occurred later in the story. 

Such skill in formatting is widely used in this game. When the player is deeply shocked, the "Who are they?!" becomes shaking and in red and yellow. Such formatting, along with all the images used, expresses the shock of the character, gives the player a sense of uncertainty and mystery of the story. In the end and twist of the story, the background changes from dark to bright, it also symbols the change of perception from the character. The character has accepted the reality. The sound effects and music also contributed to this emotional touch at the end of the game.
