Abstract

"Animal Villa," a captivating choose-your-own-adventure game, was passionately developed by our group, presenting a celebration of diversity and inclusivity for all players. The game aimed to shed light on the voices of underrepresented communities within the gaming world, including the deaf, blind, and LGBTQ+ communities. More than a mere source of entertainment, "Animal Villa" served as a platform for representation and inclusivity. The goal was to set a new standard in gaming where diversity was not only acknowledged but celebrated, offering a rich and inclusive gaming experience. Our hope was that the game would become a pioneering force for positive change within the gaming industry, paving the way for more inclusive narratives and gameplay.
