In the Beginning was the Word…

In this project which was my pitch, I had the role of the Vision Keeper, Programmer, VFX and lighting artist and the marketing designer. I also did a little bit of Environment Design. It was my decision to use Cryengine for this project and I never used it before, so I had to learn how to work with this engine on the go.

In the beginning was the word… and the author writing it. His words and thoughts shaped the world around him – until his writer’s block obstructed his path. Take on the role of the author and dive into the beautiful fantasy forest of this world. Use the words you find to shape this magical realm in order to overcome the writer’s block in this VR puzzle game. 

You will encounter:

• a beautiful, magical forest environment

• 4 Puzzles to solve

• free locomotion in room-scale VR to let you explore the world you enter

• Physical interaction with the world

• Manipulation of the world by your author powers
