These projects in development (tested at University and presented at Narrascope 2024) use the features of non-linear, narrative game design to explore science concepts which involve changes in the state of a system: where can you go from point A, and how do the destinations differ? While the number of states may be potentially infinite, in these systems the rules are essentially finite. They are easier to understand from the curated choices in these games than by using a full simulation.
