Aster
Sheridan Illustration 2023 fall semester thesis project. Set up like a no-commentary walkthrough of a demo of a game. We follow a recent top-of-his-class adventuring school graduate, Aster, setting off to a famously mysterious and enormous mountain of monsters. With a huge ego and something to prove, Aster smugly announces his incredible abilities and acheivements before he finds out he's bitten off way more than he can chew.Special thanks to Daniel Teles for composing the soundtrack for this project.
Ospesjel
Ospesjel is a short click-through story inspired by the Norwegian wilderness and old folktales. We follow the soul of a book making a pact with a trickster spirit to turn her human. The pact is almost up, and as she slowly turns back into a novel, she returns to the spirit to beg it to keep her human by any means necessary.
For best experience please download.
Synapse
Synapse is a horror interactive fiction game made in Twine. You play as a curious ai bot shuffling around a decaying cryogenics facility, set far in the future with glimpses into the past. Choose to do your work or to find out more about yourself and this strange decrepit facility. Mind the warnings.
