Your character fell out of the sky and landed in a strange dystopian world. Upon your descent into this new world, you lost bits of your memory. You don’t know who you are, where you came from, or even your name. Luckily, you still remember how to move. Maybe this world has clues to help you remember who you are.
We chose this idea as platformers are often a lot of fun and can be as simple or complex as the designer wants the levels to be. This allows us to get base mechanics down and working while having room to add more advanced mechanics later on if we want.
The inspiration comes from games that fall into the puzzle, platformer, adventure genre such as: LostWinds, Rain World, Hollow Knight to name a few.
Our game world is very simple. Basic, soft colors for backgrounds and textures, and items that can be interacted with have brighter colors so that the player can figure out that they need to interact with these objects to proceed.
Everyday people who enjoy puzzles, platformers, and adventure games.
Movement to the left and right, jumping, finding clues and solving puzzles.

We thoroughly enjoyed working on this project, as it was our first complete game developed in Unity. We had a big idea at the beginning, but we had to downgrade many things due to our lack of expertise and time constraints. While we did downgrade, we made sure that we could still get our main plot and our main goal in, e.g. still implementing the puzzles. Something we would’ve liked to add if we had more time, would be a start screen and a main menu, where the player could select certain levels if they wanted to replay it, but only if they have completed them before. Romina implemented the three buttons so as to make it easier to restart the game during presentation time.We would’ve also liked to add our original ideas of “enemies”, such as quicksand and lava pillars.
