What is THE SEARCH?

At the surface level, The Search is a point-and-click game about the player discovering who they are and what they’re doing in a mysterious place. But thematically, The Search is about art and creativity, with the environment being the primary driver of the story.

Godbey says this is what he thinks will separate The Search from other indie point-and-clicks:

“With my background in psychology, using the symbolism, (puzzles) and metaphor to help tell the story, I think that’s where it’s unique. I don’t think you see too many games telling their story through symbolism and metaphor… I’m more focused on telling the story through art and through the environment, and letting the world around tell the story instead of just being words on paper.”

While mainstream environmental art design typically has to tell a one-dimensional story (such as having a room housing a dead body show signs of a struggle), Godbey says he wants to create “a deeper, meaningful kind of narrative” with the environment in The Search.
