Overview
A 3C Based Game
For this project, we, the designers had to create a concept from an exotic controller.
For this project we thought about sight, and the way of controlling a blind character who can move and find his way with sound.

Learnings
This project was a really exciting challenge from start to finish.
Being a very small team we were still able to contribute and create a good game with fun mechanics.
Being a very small team we were still able to contribute and create a good game with fun mechanics.
We put a lot of emphasis on the atmosphere, the sounds, the noises which are sometimes enemies and sometimes just the environment around the player, to create a feeling of doubt and uncertainty. Like a real bat in the wild.
Having playtested the game we were able to see the reaction of our playtesters, which was exactly what we wanted.
