'Wander' Exploration game

Concept of the game is the go on a journey - to 'move the way you want' - in order to find an ending to the game. Throughout exploration, subtle hints of colour in the scenery and soundscapes are given to clue players into the correct direction towards finishing the game. As such, scenes further away from the end are dull and grey in colour, have emptier and breezier soundscapes, and are less interactive. Scenes closer to the end, are filled with colour; mostly greeny blue, and pink, have fantastical soundscapes, and are more interactive; teleports, parkour, animation, etc. In this way, the game encourages exploration and critical thinking of players surroundings whilst moving the way they want to promote educated and thoughtful decisions in going further. The design of the game is heavily inspired by 2D games such as fireboy and watergirl. Featuring a watercolour art style in an ancient ruin landscape, the scenery has been build to create a fantastical and dreamlike realm to explore. All visual elements and assets included in every scene were made by me.
