Abstract

This project is a game manual created for my original fantasy game Heartroot. Drawing inspiration from both modern and retro (SNES-era) manuals, it goes beyond being a simple “how-to” guide by focusing on worldbuilding and lore to immerse the player in the setting.

While traditional manuals have largely disappeared in today’s digital marketplace, this work aims to capture the nostalgic charm of physical manuals while reimagining their role as narrative artifacts that enrich the overall game experience.
