The eletronic games arose from the computer science studies due to the computer invention. They are technological improvements of common and non-eletronic games, such as board or card games, which existed since the beginnings of humankind, and whose creation had several purposes as survival, education and entertainment. The videogames started to be developed in the 40’s, being produced for the domestic use just from the 70’s. Currently, the games industry is more profitable than the cinematographic and phonographic industries together, providing an increased investment in the area. Since then, new technologies began to be developed, enabling the creation of increasingly realistic and interesting games in aesthetic and narrative terms. Due to the human need to tell stories, many games focus on their storytelling, which started to being experienced by a new character, the gamester or interactor, who decides the story courses. Therefore, the interactivity was inserted in the narrative too, thus giving rise to the concept of interactive storytelling, of which there already were indications even before the digital revolution. This senior paper intends to explore the interactivity as a narrative tool of the videogame, from the creation of an eletronic game, whose player decides the story routes. Its objectives are to study the interactive storytelling in games; to provide continuity for the discussion about that; to bring interlocution contributions to the studies in the area; among others. The paper was carried out in steps: creation of the script and the visual identity; elaboration of a flowchart of the game routes; illustration of the characters and the settings; choice of the soundtrack; and final programming of the game, including tests and bug fixings
