Game Prototype | Going

As a trigger warning, this prototype has imagery relating to depression, self-harm and suicide. It’s probably not worth risking playing or looking at it if any of those topics could cause you to start feeling rough.

In April 2020, I spent a couple of weeks working on a small game prototype called Going. It explores the effects of having depression on my self-control during university, using concealed images and abstract mechanics to reflect a lack thereof.

Development of this prototype involved a mixture of C# programming (for player movement, randomised behaviour and line rendering), Unity implementation and 2D asset development (with Adobe Photoshop).
