Environmental Storytelling & Level Design

Demo: Level design & environmental storytelling

The intent of the scene, from The Forgotten City, is to create a foreboding atmosphere through the use of lighting and darkness, the use of disembodied voices, a carefully crafted musical score, and environmental objects. The foreboding atmosphere sets up a dazzling plot twist at the end of the scene...

The Forgotten City features a vast new city that is at times both desolate and haunting, and beautiful and picturesque. It is rich with small details to entice the player to explore and investigate thoroughly.
