(UN) DONE is an intimate, non-linear narrative game that follows a couple’s relationship as they tie and untie each other while wearing capes with attached ropes. Tying lets the players hear a happy memory, taking turns listening to one side of the story. Untying allows them to hear ways people change, grow apart until they drift away. Special charms symbolize the category of the memory. The ropes on the cape are made with conductive threads, wire, and yarn that are attached to a LilyPad Arduino. The two transmit and receive signals from each other to communicate which ropes are tied, untied together and sends the data to the computer to trigger the corresponding audio chips of the story.
