This year I was honoured to work on a dear friend's game, 'Mourning Glade: The Withering Torment'. 

It is an isometric narrative driven fantasy cRPG built in Unity for PC. The game dives into a well-loved genre among lovers of RPG mechanics and deep, branching storytelling. 

It confronts the player with themes of nature's destruction by humanity's hands. Their selfish consumption of natural resources and destructive wars have scarred the land to the point of everlasting decay. 

Traverse a forlorn landscape falling into autumnal decay as you encounter the spirits of old titans sealed in giant heads of stone. Heed their call, suffer their judgement and face your destiny. You are the one who must answer the crimes of humanity against nature. Your choices and empathy are the only thing that can restore the decaying heart of the world. How will you choose to 'Replant and Repent'?

Overall, it was an extremely satisfying project to work on and it has been wonderful to see it come to fruition.
