Clause and Effect

Description

Clause & Effect, is a  party game where everyone must read contracts (I know, fun!!!) and touch onions (layers joke here). It's set in the Shrek Universe, so be sure to watch for Rumpelstiltskin. Always read the find print.

⚠️Must be played on Fullscreen mode on PC⚠️

How to play

The game is ran on Unity and players can connect to the game using their phones. The connection is done using a server (see our GitHub for details).  It's very similar to JackBox.

1. Load the game

2. Scan the QR Code and Connect your phone to the server. Enter the join code.

3. In game, perform the actions specified by the instructions on the onion (on your phone) in order to satisfy the contract and win points.

Technical Details

This project was a bit of a networking puzzle. We had to get Unity and a React app talking to the same server to sync up player inputs and game states in real-time.

Because the game is built around this communication, it won't work without the server. If we ever stop hosting the official one, you can easily spin up your own instance to keep the game alive.

To point the game to your own server:

1. Open the project in Unity and go to the MainMenu scene.

2. Find the GameAPI object in the Hierarchy.

3. Change the Server URL in the Inspector.

4. Rebuild the game.
