Design Statement
After listening to the track for some time, forests and adventure came to mind. To me the theme was about an adventure in a magical forest to uncover dark secrets. When creating the game, my most important design choices were to have this be in Elf fiction, and to have dark tones in the forest environment. So the game was crafted from a story first, about the trauma an Elf could have, the consequences for going against their passive nature that’s usually portrayed in many works, and the trial to face in this magical dark forest setting. I wanted to have adventure as well, through the way the environment is shaped, and the lead up to how the story was told by our protagonist, and how it’s different from reality. The elf in the end of their trial facing their own evil manifested to close the adventure.
