According to the game's storyline, our candy factory is converted into a weapons factory during World War II by government order. To remind players of this outside of the story sequences, I decided to hide candy boxes inside the factory. What else can I do to support the environmental storytelling?

Pain Points:

• Difficulty in conveying historical transformation of factory setting through environmental storytelling
• Need to subtly remind players of factory's original purpose without explicit narrative sequences

Problems to Solve:

• How to visually represent factory's transition from candy production to weapons manufacturing
• Creating immersive environmental cues that support game lore

Potential Solutions:

• Hidden candy boxes (implemented)
• Modified signage (e.g., 'Sugar bombs' with 'sugar' crossed out)
• Workers consuming candy products
• Layered decor showing original factory elements beneath military additions
• Preserved candy-themed safety signs/jingles in operational areas
• Reference Portal games' environmental storytelling techniques
