NARRATIVE DESIGN

As Narrative Designer working in a small team, this has allowed the realisation of concepts from scratch through developing plot and game content, gathering research, storyboarding, game writing and collaboration to bring this short indie game to life using UE5.

STORY: This is the tale of a young farmhand seeking the help of a saint after he has lost one of the farmer's sheep. His good intentions lead him into a sinister journey as the player must navigate the increasing demands of an unsettling beggar stalking the farm.

The game is played in 1st person; tending to the farm, speaking with the beggar and making choices. If you're watchful, you may just see him lurking around on the periphery. The highly stylised character and environment design adds to the eeriness and uncanny setting in game.
