CONCEPT
Investigate the mysterious death of a spaceship crew using video and audio recordings affected by disturbances from a strange planet.
DESCRIPTION
Final Master's project completed in a year and a half.
Started in May 2021, the project underwent a complete overhaul in March 2022, starting almost from scratch. The problem was that the initial intentions were not respected: "to create an investigative game in which the player would be actively involved in the inquiry process, without the progress being validated as he made discoveries, while at the same time offering him enough tools to carry out his investigation."
The existing features, notably the time manipulation's system and the navigation in the environment, disrupted the original intention's design. So we decided to go back to the original premise and completely rebuild the game around it, removing navigation and drastically reducing the importance of time mechanics in the gameplay.
