SYNOPSIS
“Asylum” is a first person adventure game, with strong emphasis on stealth, exploration and platforming. The world of “Asylum” is a future ravaged Earth, in which the planet has exhausted all of its resources, resulting in worldwide conflicts, famines and natural disasters etc  However, prior to the downfall of society a secret contingency plan was put in effect to resettle a small percentage of world’s population to state of the art facilities, known as ARCS. These facilities contained VR technology that would allow the users to enter into a virtual world (whilst their real bodies would remain in suspended animation) letting them live out a new life in complete safety. The rest of world wasn’t so lucky. 

​

GAME WORLD
The game itself is set inside the VR World. The environment will feel really "new" and abundantly clear that its man-made. To reinforce this idea, i  decided on going for a concrete/ brutalist architecture style to truly emphasis the man-made feeling.

​

THEMES
A huge theme of the project is immigration and refugees. I feel that the current "crisis" really needs a game that could help improve and educate gamer's and by extension their friends/family view on the matter, that in the end of the day they are incredibly desperate people. I didn't want to recreate a realistic game, as it would add a lot of restrictions and ultimately could be a bit of a disservice to the real world scenario.
