Description of the game
Over the Top is an interactive web module that tells the story of what life was like for Canadians fighting in the trenches during the First World War. The interactive element derives from the ability of the user to select varying outcomes to the story. In effect, the user assumes the role of a Canadian infantryman somewhere along the Somme sector of the front in the fall of 1916 and is required, at regular intervals, to make decisions by clicking on one of a number of probable outcomes.
