Afterglow
Interactive Graphic Novel
By: Honbete Jaewon Lee, Yingru Meng, Krystal Jiang, Justin Shu
Course: IAT 313 Narrative and New Media
Description: Afterglow is an interactive graphic novel developed using Figma prototyping that blends illustrated storytelling with interactive elements.
The story unfolds through the eyes of protagonist Maeve, as she embarks on an emotional journey through her late mother's videogame with the intent to destory it. As she moves through fragmented memories and corrupted game environments, she confronts her and her mother鈥檚 past, and her own grief. Players learn of Maeve鈥檚 perspective through dialogue choices and interactions, leading to one of two endings: preserving the game as a tribute or erasing it forever. With interactive options, immersive sound, and subtle animations, players experience firsthand the love and complicated relationship between a mother and daughter.
