Tiffany Phan (Naomi) | Published Game Director | Visual Artist | Digital Marketer
This game was inspired by my personal experiences of sleep paralysis and my interest in the metaphysical theories of dimension travel. I wondered about the possibility of our consciousness traveling to higher dimensions through abnormal experiences. The protagonist in the game goes through a similar experience as their consciousness transcends to the astral realm while their physical body is asleep (visuals in-game are highly abstracted). To escape the astral realm and wake their body up, the ambiguous protagonist must face their inner fears resembled as alternate versions of themselves from other world lines.

The original game idea was pitched to a class of around 300 students. I interviewed over 30 students and selected 16 to work on the game. I am currently still leading the game team as we are still in production.
The game is made with 3D Unity and is planned to be released on Steam.

Roles:
Artist, Animator, Concept Designer
I produced all the art assets in the game and came up with the concept along with how the levels were going to be designed. I also animated the characters making them movable using Construct 3.
Travel through a seemingly dull and lifeless world, and reclaim the wonder in life. Help Nouv find herself by fighting off her inner demons and negative emotions with the help of a mysterious wand. The farther your explore the brighter the world becomes and the closer Nouv comes to finding her purpose in live, will she find it?
