We are thinking to make the game a bit like an interactive movie with many parts that are controlled by the game, so that the player tries to fulfill things in between. So for example, for those people who know the story, he would be up in his room at Pencey and the player could do things, but would only be allowed to walk in a small space. Then, as soon as he did something special, in this case sit down and read, a scripted event would start where Ackley would come and they would chat. Maybe the player will be able to reply himself there. We have planned on including many of those events, but if it turns out that there will be too little action for the player then, we would leave some out.
I think we are going to use some quotes from the novel itself as well and include references. Because there are so many symbols we still have to see if we are going to put our own interpretation of the novel into the game or if we will try to make it as unbiased as possible so that the player can make up their own mind.
