I recently made a small demo for an essay. I know it’s complicated, but it came as good as I could have hoped for. It kind of mixes pixel art with cell-shaded animated characters, a bit reminiscent of 90’s adventure games. I had a playtester give me a lovely compliment, saying it reminded him of the classic PC game Alone in the Dark, before I even mentioned it. It made my day to hear that, thank you, Alex. And yes, it totally was one of my inspirations.
Since the demo is conceived to research a specific topic, which is narrative design, it can seem a bit too theoretical. But if you decide to play it, I hope you can see past that and have a nice time with it. Well, now I’ll be off to keep working on the essay, which honestly is not my favorite part, but if you feel like trying my demo, it’s on https://sunjem.itch.io/vision-of-meia/ Until next time!
