Minhocão

The challenge

To make anyone who knows the ICC feel they are inside it, in a game that opens straight in the browser on computer and phone, and to tell the story of the university under the dictatorship without mixing fact and fiction.

What was built

• The basement is generated by code for every game, following the building’s real floor plan: wings, blocks, squares and dozens of furnished rooms.
• The ground-floor corridor never ends, and each lap shows a year of the dictatorship, with real dates.
• The monster hears and sees, inspired by the guards who followed students around the campus, and there are several ways to escape it.
• A screen tells the history behind the game, with facts and sources checked against the report of the Anísio Teixeira Commission.
• After the ending, you can walk freely through the building, with no monster, and read the story of each place.

Under the hood

• Runs in three dimensions in the browser, with Three.js, with nothing to install.
• All the sound is generated on the spot, and nothing leaves the device: no account, no cookies, no tracking.
• Automated tests of the map generator and a script that plays through the game in a real browser.
