What Is PART 3?
An emotional and tragic piece of interactive art created for Artfight, PART 3 attempts to address the ties of innocence, fear, and sudden tragedy. The game uses simple but powerful visuals and choices to draw players into a soft-spoken tale of Swiftpaw, an extravagant but happy-go-lucky essentially good soul, metamorphosized through some very terrifying circumstances. Even with some doubts about the outcome on the creator's side, it remains a stunning example of storytelling through minimalist means.
How to Play
The gameplay is straightforward and barebones: make choices to unfold the story in its many faces. Press 'A' to see the original idea scribble, giving that perspective to the narrative. Press 'B' to look at the sketch contrasting Swiftpaw's happy times with his sudden, frightening demise. Though very sparse, the interaction offers enough to puzzle an intrepid player together and ponder on the story's emotional weight.
Tips and Tricks
- Take some time to really absorb the visuals and the story: the good and bad experiences of Swiftpaw form a powerful contrast that acts as the pillar to understanding what the game is trying to do.
- Note the details given in the sketches, as they often feature subtle clues concerning the storyline.
- Talk to others about what you've thought about-they mightJ: assist in interpreting the game's theme and impact.

It remains the shining example of simple storytelling and the effect brought on by abrupt changes.
