The game was designed for 2021's Global Game Jam with the theme of Lost and Found. We set out to create an isometric shooter with a story about a boy who lost his Teddy Bear. What we ended up with was a deep narrative where the player is playing Timmy as if they were young and imagining themselves being read the story about the real Timmy from their parents.
Game and Interactive media company set on developing quality experiences for players through striking narratives, innovative game-play loops, and beautifully crafted level design.
