Hi everyone , i am a student at the Faculty of Design, specializing in Game Design, and I am currently working on my diploma project, which is a video game. The project is a 2D side scrolling psychological horror game based on a dark and lesser known folklore tale from the Brothers Grimm about an enchanted tree. Visually, the game is inspired by titles such as Neverending Nightmares, Fran Bow, Sally Face, and similar narrative horror games. My current deadline is April–May, and at the moment the first act of the game is already fully written and structured. 

Right now the team consists of:
1 - composer,
2 - artist,
and myself as the team lead and narrative designer. I will also be working with the Unity engine during development.

To successfully finish the project before the deadline, I am currently looking for 1–2 good additional artists who would like to collaborate on this game. The visual style of the game will look approximately like the images attached in this post.

(The images are generated concepts used as visual references.) What makes this project different is that the story is based on a dark and relatively unknown folklore tale that includes disturbing themes such as cannibalism, murder, paranoia, and psychological tension. Before the diploma deadline, our goal is to finish a playable demo version of the game. After the diploma project is completed, we plan to continue developing the full game

The demo will be released on as many platforms as possible, and the full version will eventually be sold, with all team members receiving a share of the revenue. If you are interested in joining the project, please contact me by email:
