Design Statement
Our theme is “Journey”: a small, lonely, cautious being begins to move. The world gradually responds. More and more elements join in, building into a vibrant momentum that carries it forward. Yet the ending brings no grand victory, only a sudden moment of quiet, leaving something unspoken.
· 1. Self
- What the player explores: Discovering their own shape.
- How the world unfolds: A sense of “I” first emerges in the darkness.
- Underlying theme: What am I?
· 2. Surroundings
- What the player explores: Discovering the elements and rules of the world.
- How the world unfolds: The world gradually takes on shape, material, sound and colour. Obstacles invite jumping, constraints call for bending and adapting, and echoes reveal the texture of everything.
- Underlying theme: What is this world?
· 3. Others
- What the player explores: Company from another character.
- How the world unfolds: The player meets friends who join them on their journey.
- Underlying theme: Sharing the journey with others.
· 4. Forward
- What the player explores: Facing the fading of everything they have found and a return to ordinary life.
- How the world unfolds: Everything gained along the way gradually disappears. The world grows quiet again, but the experience continues to nourish the self.
- Underlying theme: If everything will eventually fade, what meaning remains in the journey?
