Characters in a video game provide interest to the players coming from what they are and how they function in the game. This gives the players empathy to develop characters, goals and game objectives. They mirror audience's of a specific gender or type. For example Mario mostly appeals to boys than girls. Characters make a creative effect in a game, which is an important role with everything going on and around the game environment. There are three types of characters. One type is the protagonist, who is the main character of a story or game, which creates conflict in the story. The second type is the antagonist, who opposes the main character's attempts or against the main character. The third type is flat characters, who have the lack of traits and shallow personality like a random Npc in town. There aren't that many flat characters in the game I'm going to write about a game called Trace Memory. Trace Memory is a puzzle game for the Nintendo Ds., which uses a stylus and microphone.
The story line of Trace Memory is a slow progressing mystery, that mirrors those in love with this type of game. There was a research study on human memory in the government's secret lab. The two scientists involved, Richard and Sayoko Robbins suddenly disappeared. Later their daughter, Ashley Robbins presumed her parents' were dead. She received a mysterious package that was sent by her father that holds a small device called, DTS. The DTS is a camera where your able to examine pictures. Also it is able to read messages which are in DAS data cards that are hidden within the game. Ashley uses it by tracing it to a deserted island called, Blood Edward Island. This led her to a mystery to determine if her parents were dead or still alive. She goes there with her father's younger sister, Jessica Robbins in which she tells Ashley some parts about her parents and other scientist who disappeared while at sea. She encounters many characters and facts she never knew about Blood Edward Island. There are so many twists about the protagonist and antagonist leading up to the climax of the game. Also, there are many back stories and characters which make the game interesting.
