Searching for Katla

A game design and development project — July 2021

The Mission

As part of the class project one, I decided to develop the short game Searching for Katla. My focus was

  • storytelling through environmental clues
  • a good story arch, despite little user guidance
  • implementation in Unity


The Tools & Skills

  • Unity and Visual Studio
  • programming with C#
  • After Effects for the video
  • Blender for asset creation
