Zodiac

This game is only a demo of the project, so there's still a lot of placeholder and it's far from finished in terms of content, but my aim was to try out this concept.

In this 2D puzzle game, make your way through a strange and mysterious maze using the power of the astrological signs you meet along the way!

Each sign is represented by an allegory and possesses its own power that you'll be able to use, from the charge of Aries to the arrows of Sagittarius!

Be prepared to solve complex enigmas and explore uninhabited areas that are full of secrets...

So far you can meet 4 signs and solve 3 big enigmas !

Personal intention for the project :

The aim of this project was to train me to produce a proof of concept, a short demo of an idea that proves its relevance.

It allowed me to focus on game design, to try and make a simple concept with depth. I tried to ensure that each mechanic was linked to the others, so that the player always had several possibilities, and that the answers were not systematic.

In terms of programming, the prototype is completely modular, so it would be fairly easy to produce content from this base. I also took the opportunity to experiment with writing dialogues.
