Root of The Problem
Jam Theme: Roots
In “Root of the Problem” you play as a Merle, a wizard, and now qualified therapist in his daily interactions with his patients. Gather words, press for information, question the client and combine words to get to the root of their problems!

Outcomes
The project delivered on our design goals
UI assets were imported and animated to add some life to interactions
Critique
Combining words doesn’t generate unique dialogue on every failure, this can cause gameplay to be slightly tedious at points. Unique dialogue for each combination would generate amusement from failures.
