Overview

We Are Souls is a first-person survival prototype created during a 4-day game jam (1 day planning, 3 days execution). The game focuses on physical interaction and comedic tone, placing the player in a world overrun by small but aggressively determined creatures known as “souls”.

The core experience revolves around grabbing, swinging, throwing, and using enemies as improvised tools, turning attempted intimidation into absurd slapstick.

  • Supported visual readability and expressive character design
  • Worked closely with modelling and programming to ensure textures supported animation and tone
  • Contributed to maintaining a consistent visual identity under tight time constraints

Design Focus

• Physical Comedy Through Interaction

• Tone Through Character Design
  • Visual style reinforces the contrast between perceived threat and actual absurdity.
• Readable, Immediate Feedback
  • Exaggerated reactions and audio cues support moment‑to‑moment clarity.
