abstract:A is an interactive fiction game, featuring mostly static graphics, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills (and sometimes video footage). As the name might suggest, they resemble mixed-media novels.
The project began in the summer of 2010, when Rodrigo Corral, a book designer who has created covers for Junot Diaz, Jeffrey Eugenides and Jay-Z, began to toy with the idea of a visualnovel that used images, rather than words, to tell the story.
Aside from best director, the 3D film - based on the Booker-winning novel about a shipwrecked boy and a Bengal tiger - won awards for cinematography, score and visual effects.
