A narrative choice-based game built in Unity using Yarn Spinner, set in Lagos. Players navigate social scenarios, manage money and likability, and make decisions that affect the story.

Technical Architecture:

I built a modular system using singleton managers for persistent state:

• MainGameManager: Persistent stats (money, likability, player name) with animated UI counters, floating text feedback, and real-time Yarn variable synchronization

• CheckpointManager: Save/restore system using reflection to capture all Yarn variables, enabling retry from decision points

• YarnCommands: Custom command handlers bridging Yarn scripts to Unity systems (background changes, scene transitions, purchases, checkpoint management)

Core Systems:

Dialogue & Narrative:

• Integrated Yarn Spinner for branching dialogue

• Custom Yarn commands for gameplay

• Dynamic background transitions

• Chapter-based structure with stat preservation between chapters

Economy & Stats:

• Real-time money and likability tracking with visual feedback

• Purchase system

Mini-Games:

• Hidden Object Game (Okrika): Timer-based with click penalties, zoom controls, and checklist UI

• Stealth Game (Packman): Steal mechanics with NPC line-of-sight detection, progress tracking, and mobile-friendly touch input

Creative Implementation:

• Smooth scene transitions with fade effects
• Persistent UI that shows/hides based on scene context
• On-screen keyboard for mobile input
• Audio feedback for stat changes
• Chapter 3 stat backup/restore for narrative replayability
• Crafted and implemented custom design system

The architecture supports narrative flexibility while maintaining technical reliability across multiple chapters and mini-games.
