Dungeon Synth Game

This idea came to me while I was playing Minecraft and was looking for something to listen to. I came across Louie Zong's dungeon synth album beyond the edge of the world released under the alias lookfar. Both the music and the album art made me want to make a game in the same vein, and around 5 different artistic inspirations came to mind so I had no choice but to make something.

Further artistic reference includes:

• ma-ko
• Varguy
• Ulysse Malassagne
• Bone by Jeff Smith
• Adventure Time (mainly backgrounds, but some character and prop art too)

Further musical reference includes:

• Mort Garson
• The Dungeon Synth Archives
• Moondog
• Ryuichi Sakamoto

Gameplay inspirations include:

• Kings Quest
• Machinarium
• Samorost
• Sword & Sworcery

It is a 2D/3D mix point and click exploration game with some puzzles :)

Taking inspiration from comics art particularly in how ink is used at times to completely black out shadows. A combination of dark, lost, and secret places and spaces. Darkness is a comforting and welcoming thing, but not in a corruptive way as portrayed by a bunch of media. Light isn't an inherently bad thing, but an overabundance of it is, just as with anything.

This isn't the core game mechanic however, you just have a look around a cool little world
