Abstract
In this paper we propose Point to Culture, a novel plugin for Unity3D game engine which allows the realisation of simple yet beautiful and historically rich Serious Games in the form of point-to-click adventures, a type of game that is well suited for Cultural Heritage dissemination and promotion. Given the ever growing demand for technologies which enhance Cultural Heritage Serious Games, we provided a complete and modular plugin for one of the most common game engine which allows the development of a game, like an escape room, with almost no line of code needed. Additionally, in order to test the proposed tool, we present a case-study game set in the Benedictine Monastery of Catania.
