A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

About

This game was developed as our semester project at the University of Applied Sciences Europe - Campus Hamburg. Over 2 Months,  3 Game Design Students teamed up to tackle the task of developing a walking simulator with the focus on Narrative Design. We had to choose an unlicensed story and rewrite/enhance the plot. The Story we chose is an old japanese Fairytail known as "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" or: "The Tale of Princess Kaguya".

Game Description    

Intro

After leaving the capital and all the wealth behind,  the young princess Kaguya is plagued by the same dreams over and over in which the moon is calling her home... In search for answers, she decides to leave the capital and return to her childhood-home the Bamboo forest.

Synopsis

Walk around Kaguyas home, explore the Bamboo forest and talk to tiny moon rabbits that want to play hide and seek with you. What is this all about? What does that strange dream ultimately mean? Only one way to find out...


Key Features

  • Explore your surroundings and learn more about Kaguyas story
  • Search for rabbits that give you hints by singing for them
  • Choose between two different endings: Will you follow your destiny or return to your loving family?
