The game Return revolves around a high school teenager who gets transported to a different world, and there are items that were transported as well. They must find all of the items to go back home. At the end of the game, the player must make a decision.
During the development of the game, I’m trying out several types of mechanics where each item reveals the narrative. This would be my first time creating a whole environment, unlike the previous games where I just relied on regular 3D objects. Overall, the design goal is to make a carefully crafted level. For the narrative, there is more dialogue explaining who the mysterious person is. Lastly, for the player experience, I want them to have fun playing the game and feel the environment around them with the help of audio and assets.
This is my first time making an atmospheric game. The previous games that I have made just came from the top of my head, but this game is based on a short story I wrote. I hope the players enjoy the game
