Forgotten Earth is a game developed from a student-led brief proposed by myself and a fellow student for the professional project module at Abertay University. Our goal was to create a vertical slice of a narrative-focused exploration game, using show don’t tell techniques similar to those found in animated movies by Pixar.

The player controls a chirpy, optimistic reconnaissance bot name CRK8 who has been sent to analyse whether Earth is now safe for humans to return. The game would incorporate fixed cameras inspired by games like ICO, with a big focus on environmental exploration, story and simple puzzles.
