Build what is next, plan for the future; that's what Google did. Gamification has been a concept applied in strategy, education & storytelling, and soon, a game will do more.

There is a game out there which has shined lights on how games will evolve in the next decades; one of my favourite, introduced by my mentor; Last of Us.

I wouldn't detail why I come to love this game so much here, but if you are really into storytelling. Please take this advise and consider picking up a console and enjoy this game.

If you are going to play one game to understand why Google went into gaming, it's this, it's your future 101 class.

If not, there's a YouTube link below for the video walk-through.

But if you do, savour the journey, and re-visit the story and its delivery a year or so later for your educational purposes. The creative thinking on pacing of the story arc harmonise with the character's emotional arc, interface & motion graphic was seamlessly connected, it's dialogue and their placements are simply brilliant, every moment in this experience are nourished with care.
