'L'ultimo Capitolo' is an Alternate Reality Game (ARG), an interactive networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform and employs transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that can be altered by players' ideas or actions. In this participatory experience, by utilizing a multi-platform approach, the narrative unfolds through Instagram, Telegram, and an enigmatic website called the "Libro delle Femmine".

Challenge

Developing this ARG presented several key challenges. The first was integrating a cohesive narrative with interactive elements across multiple platforms, including real-world interactions, which required a balance between storytelling and technological innovation. Another challenge was ensuring the puzzles were engaging yet accessible to a diverse audience, aiming to stimulate collaboration and critical thinking without causing frustration.
Coordinating real-time challenges with real-world actions added a layer of complexity, demanding careful planning to maintain immersion. Additionally, tackling sensitive themes like extremism and justice in the narrative required thoughtful deliberation to provoke reflection while responsibly addressing these serious issues. Despite these obstacles, our team's innovative approach turned these challenges into opportunities, resulting in an immersive, thought-provoking ARG that encouraged critical reflection on societal issues.

My Role

My responsibility was mainly related to the development of the enigmatic website:"Libro delle Femmine.“ I focused on UX design to create an intuitive experience, handled the frontend development to build the site's interactive elements, and utilized Klynt for seamless transmedia storytelling integration.
