Storyline Design: Phishing Simulation Demo
Great to see, that not everyone goes the same way to tell the always same story.
Now that I read a lot about better design, I feel a bit confused. An outstanding idea (regarding mindset to address) can go with quite conventional design methods, which are just unusual in that context.
There are so many things we're just used to interpret conventionally, that a mix may be a risk, but a chance as well. And yet any other mix in a totally different context could go awfully wrong.
"Doing it different with decency" may be the golden rule. Or which formula would you derive from this awesome experiment?

Anselm, that's a great thought. Using thoughtful design, in both graphics and curriculum development, should hopefully lead to novel experiences for our learners.
It's a tricky balance choosing tone and aesthetic when it comes to training. Certain topics can't be treated with levity, but that doesn't mean all topics require a semi-punitive backdrop.
One framework I've been using to help in the design process is the SCARF model, developed by Dr. David Rock. It has helped identify potential areas that put learners in a heightened emotional state, leading to reduced cognitive engagement with the content. The SCARF model has influenced both what goes into the course and how it's ultimately presented.
