Torii (itch)

All what you see now can be changed, Torii is a work in progress game, i'm trying to achieve the best gameplay to feat with the idea of the game.  → What is Torii?

Torii is a video game for players looking on a different story with puzzles and secrets. We want to achieve an immersive experience which stays in players mind for the rest of their lives.
What would you do if you could access a method to talk to someone who is no longer in this world?
Ipa, the protagonist, did it. And with her ability to see objects in exchange for her suffering, you must move forward to find your younger sister.

→ Who is Ipa?

Ipa is a girl who lost her little sister in an accident when she was young and was alone home taking care of her. She grew up with the guilt, and dedicated her life to science with the objective of sending a message to her sister.

Now she can access through dimensions between life and death, but she has forgotten why she was there.

→ Gameplay

Torii is a first-person narrative-puzzle game in which players must
activate an ability to see objects that are not in the "real" plane (gameplay can radically change, i'm working on different prototypes right now).
This ability, has a limited time. Is in that period of time when players must solve different puzzles to advance to the end. At this point, players must collide an
enemy from the unreal plane with the Torii to pass to the next level.

→ Interface

As one of the most important things in Torii is immersion, the interface is as minimalist as possible. Two bars on the top left to mark life and skill time, some dialog boxes, and the rest is integrated into the game. If life goes down, the color of the screen dims. If we use our ability, a red filter, and marks of pain in the corners, warn us that we are suffering.

→ Esthetic

Enviroment art is one of the main pillars of Torii. It's intended that the player feel the immersion of a dimension unknown to him, which is full of melancholy, colors, and lighting with personality. Through levels, Torii speaks about panic, fear of failure, frustration and guilt.
