ABOUTABOUT
[2023 – 2025] Selina: Mind at Large is a narrative puzzle adventure game where you meet the young girl Selina who seeks the help of a brave hero to travel into her mind and restore her memories and fight the sinister Aniles and her Shadows.
The game is a mixture of Manifold Garden and Portal, filled with gravity puzzles where you guide water through Selinas morphed memories. The world is inspired by M.C. Escher and the writings of Carl Gustav Jung.

WorkflowWorkflow -- PuzzlePuzzle LevelsLevels
Through the project I was developing multiple puzzle levels starting off with a moodboard to define how the level should feel and what it should tell the player and where the nessecary narrative elements should be.
After that I used rational Level Design principles to create a table which helped me define the gameplay elements for each room.
After the previous steps I sketched the level layout (bottom) and the puzzle structure with gameplay elements and focus points (left).
