LIGHT OF MY LIFE

A short video game made with Unity. May you find that poetic light in the nihilistic void :)

GAME CONCEPT

Using the classic Platform Game as a medium, I designed this game to be a matephorical journey of a girl in depression. The player-controlled character jumps between suspended platforms in space and collects hovering gems. The goal of the game is to go through the forward-moving map without falling off the platforms while constantly replenishing the forever-shrinking halo around the character. The game illustrates the isolation and loneliness one feels in major depressive disorder and the constant fear of losing hope. 

HOW TO PLAY
