The Tremors Beneath

Our game is a 2D platformer story-based game. Our main core mechanics are puzzles and narrative. We tried to design our levels in a way that the players would be exposed to and brought aware of mental health, specifically anxiety. Our first level is dark and gritty to emphasize the tone and as the game progresses to level two, the atmosphere gets lighter.

Our main character is very hero-like because of our story. Our story is that there is a guy named Skitty. He has more anxiety than normal and is always fighting with doubt, stress, and fear. Our main character is supposedly in Skitty’s mind helping him to overcome these challenges by solving the puzzles. The narrative and images that pop up describe a little bit of Skitty’s personality and some of his childhood. So, the overall objective of our game is to help Skitty overcome his anxiety.
