One day while trying to protect a group of civilians Calliopé found that little girl of her dream. It was a massacre as most of the people died except the little girl who Calliopé brought back at Soar-12.
Throughout the game, the player will find out about the relationship between those two but also how the Mercatoris have been using Calliopé for their own good. The game is based on a collection of Calliopé memories where the player can play in different period of time, in a regular, futuristic, apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic period but also with different characters. Decision making during the game also affects the game scenario!

MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT
Computer Interface Design Principles was a module during my coursework within which an interface design had to be created for a game. I then designed ABODE - Promised Land. Abode means a place of residence, a house or a home and the game which is an action / RPG / survival game concept is destined to PC gamers.
ARTWORKS AND PROCESSES
THE SANDBOX includes several unused buttons, cursors and other gaming elements which I created during the course of the project.
