Optimistic Sad Boy

This story-focused game is a product of GameDevWeek 2023. #gdwtrier

Of the two themes given, we chose "Dream Logic" and interpreted it in such a way that the sad main character dreams of a colorful, happy world.

A boy named Daemon fights the pessimistic world views his parents have taught him for his whole life. Trying to bring color into his life he has to find inspiration and fight his inner demons.

In a team of five people, we developed the demo of "Optimistic Sad Boy" within one week.
