Abigail
(Pending Title)
In this game, the player takes on the role of Abigail, a photographer who leaves her life behind in the city to take a job in a remote island town. Soon after arriving, Abigail begins to have vivid nightmares and discovers the existence of an alternate world; a horrifying, surreal and dreamlike realm that exists alongside her own. As she begins to unravel the mysteries of the island, she finds herself tied to this place, caught up in a supernatural contract that she never formally agreed to. The story takes place over the autumn and winter of one year.
All pieces shown here and below are concept art or works in progress. These are illustrations showcasing some environments, scenes and characters within the story. Drawing these in addition to writing allows me to develop the characters and the world they inhabit further.
Character sheets for the main characters of the game.
Animation outlines for Abigail’s sprite, both running and walking.
Sketches and drafts of backgrounds and maps for some of the in-game areas. After much experimentation, I settled on creating 2D backgrounds in a variety of top down and isometric angles.
