Virtual Cinema and X-Files use a combination of game flags, called UberStates/UberVariables, where each of the decision interactions has a different reward value troughout the game and affects certain game's path. There are 3 flags, Paranoid, Loss, X-Track which translate to in-game emotion decisions Funny, Indifferent, Paranoid, Casual, Serious, Mean. The game's path is also affected by certain questions asked to certain NPC which contribute to the final reward value. | |||
