Material Task A : UNRAVEL
Unravel (2015) is a puzzle platform game by Coldwood Interactive. It centers on the protagonist “Yarny”, an apple-sized creature made of red yarn, as he explores the minutae of our everyday world, magnified due to his small size, and solves puzzles. As he moves, his yarn body unravels, creating lines that the player must use to progress throughout the game.
Video games are not comprised of physical materials, so I interpreted the task to mean unconventional materials being the center of attention in a game. Here we have a protagonist made of yarn that makes use of his unconventional anatomy and physics.
