STYX: VIDEO GAME DESIGN

EARLY STAGE DESIGNS

Mortality and mythology are two things have defined the human condition for centuries.

This project is an exploration of how mythology can and has been used to make death feel less foreign and less scary.

I aim to explore the journey of a character into the afterlife, in a way that is not scary, but just a natural journey we all must take.
