Background & Assets

The game is a student project and was made in Unreal 5 in seven weeks by a core team of 10 people during spring 2024 at Futuregames Stockholm & Futuregames Karlstad, with additional help from a Futuregames VFX artist. All assets except the fire VFX and the female player character with its corresponding animations are made from scratch by the team.
