player choose to play the game, there will be a short animation of a cellphone ring. The
first level begins after the animation is done.
At the top left of the screen are two counters, representing the number of positive
and negative "tone-changers" that have been collected. The word “hello” is in the middle
of the screen with two positive tone-changers and four negative tone-changers to the side
of it. If the player touches the word with one finger, the word gets bigger; if the player
touches the word with two fingers the word gets smaller.
Controlling the size of the word, the player will discover that if he/she touches a
tone-changer the appropriate counter at the top will increment. When the player has
collected negative tone-changers, the background color changes from purple to red, a
darker vignette appears. If the player has collected positive tone-changers, the
background changes color from purple to light blue and the vignette gets lighter. The
music will change to a faster melody when the negative "tone-changers" are collected or
to a slower one when positive "tone-changers" are collected. When either the positive or
negative tone-changer counter is full, a button will appear at the bottom right of the
screen allowing the user to progress to the next level. The player is left to decide if he/she
is ready to proceed. The content and narrative of the next level is determined by the way
the player decided to solve the puzzle (either through positive or negative tone-changers).
If all the positive "tone-changers" are collected, then the narrative will branch towards a
more pleasant branch, while if the player touches all of the negative "tone-changers" then
the narrative branches towards a more confrontational branch.
