Journey to Conlay

Welcome to Journey to CONLAY!

Journey to CONLAY is a digital interactive story based on Conrad's novels Heart of Darkness and The Rescue. This project, as the creative component of the essay ''"Wanderers in the Looking Glass: Visions of Emptiness and Self-Representations in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and The Rescue"'', explores how the Representations of the landscape/seascape are constructed by the travelers' (yours!) consciousness step by step in their voyage. In a word, you ''create" a wonderland in the ''"eyes"'' of your ''mind''!! 

Follow your eyes and enjoy the journey!

p.s. If you cannot open either the story web or the file, you may consider viewing this video recording me playing the entire digital story. This is NOT RECOMMENDED! The point of the project is to let you play the story yourself.  Also, this story contains music and images. Every clickable word should trigger either images or sound effects. If you cannot hear the sound/cannot see the image, it means your PC/mobile phone/web browser is not compatible with this story. In that case, you can also view this video, which contains all the images and sound effects.  link to the video:  kSue7Mq7mh8

p.s. The source of the cover page is cited on the last page of the game.
