Another Night is a 2D platformer created during my 2nd year of Game Design school.
​
We had a full month to create the game we wanted, without any rules of constrains.
​
As such, I created a narrative game centred around the phase through mechanic of the game Outer Bounds by Watermelon.
Use your intangibility to go higher and higher
Avoid darkness and reach the end
The game was created to be relaxing with a peaceful music and simple puzzles that gradually gets harder.
​
Except for the musics, every asset in the game was created by me.
NARRATIVE
Seemingly appearing out of nowhere in an eerie world, a boy ventures into the ruins of what was once a prosperous kingdom, he discovers an enigmatic yet friendly voice taking in his head and a oddly familiar shadow silhouette disappearing whenever he tries to get close to it.
​
Guiding him through the levels, the voice tells him the life of a wise king and an immature prince, whose curiosity unleashed a powerful curse.
​
Flowing through the streets like a wild beast, the curse slowly killed and sometimes transformed humans into suffering creatures, unable to move or speak, destroying the kingdom in a flash and turning it into an everlasting night.
Phase through matter to progress
understand what happened to this world
Near the end of his journey, the boy is put to face with the truth, a long time ago, he unleashed the curse, he is the prince.
​
Having miraculously survived the curse, he fled and continued with his life, all of this world is just a nightmare he created himself, never having truly forgiven himself for what he did.
​
Facing himself and destroying the remaining attachment he had with the kingdom, he finally accepts what he did and relieves himself of the overbearing weight of his guilt for his curiosity that can't be undone.
