About
Brave the darkness to find a way out, as well as explore the environment to find all the pieces of the story and try to figure out the mystery behind it all...
The player takes on the role of Lucy, who becomes trapped in a mine while searching for her wife. She has to find a way out, but also stay clear of the dangers that lurk in the dark.
To do this she must create light, both by activating old generators in the mine as well as using her flashlight. The flashlight runs on batteries, and Lucy needs to find these to make sure she always has enough.
Diversity - The game’s protagonist is a queer woman of color, which is rarely depicted in media, especially not video games.
Mythology - Inspiration for this game was taken from Filipino mythology which, despite its vastness, is not typically used in mainstream media the way mythology from other cultures is.
Atmosphere - Rather than using jumpscares to make this game scary, the focus is on atmosphere and giving players a sense of unease.
This is a project created during a 10-week long game development course at the University of Skövde, Sweden. Average playtime is about 15 minutes.
