Adam created an early concept of a mysterious town trapped in the middle of the desert. He was isolated, and although there were still people living there, he was very melancholic. We took that and evolved it in an environment that took inspiration from games like Dark Souls to create an atmosphere that we liked.
One of the first scenes I created was that of the beginning of the game, in which the player walks through a desert until he reaches the back door of the temple. It was very inspired by the Lost Forest of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the goal was to clarify to the player that they would have to explore and find secrets. All the scenarios were created with the same mentality: do something asymmetrical and mysterious, create an atmosphere where the strange story takes place.
