about the game

Harvey is a timeless virtual 3D interactive environment based on the academic hall by the same name. Created by more than 40 students of the University of Wisconsin–Stout, Harvey will allow users to enter the virtual space and meet historical characters, such as Lorenzo Dow Harvey, whom was president at the college from 1903-1922.

Users will also be able to interact with important objects, accomplish mini-missions and relive the significant history of Stout.

the environment

While characters bring the spirit of students back to life, environments are able to take the user back into time with not only historic recreated classrooms, but with interactive objects as well. Classrooms like the millinery room and textile lab are like new, and allow the user to experience turn of the century items. With the user reliving a student’s daily life, they can find objects within every room that are not only historic but interesting. Don’t forget to look around every corner for exciting objects while exploring!
