Summary
Embody Athos, and live his journey through a fencing manual telling his story. Experience an epic epic and face ever more powerful enemies to prove to the world that you are the greatest swordsman!
In this 2d fencing game, you'll have to control Athos during various fight. To fight ennemies, you'll have to precisely use Athos' arms by using the joysticks to parry and attack.
The game is driven by narration and everything takes place inside the manual you're reading. Your actions and how you play the game will impact elements of the game to make you create your own unique version of Athos' story.
My implication
I was the lead game designer on this game as well as narrative designer. I was part of the research and development of the concept and design documents (game concept, game feel, scope poster, one page, creative brief…).
I created the story and characters. I integrated the differents chapters and did a lot of test and balancing over the differents elements of the game (3C, ennemies, narration...).
I was responsible for game design communication both internally and with other trades. I also ensured the overall coherence of the various ideas and design adjustments.
I worked on the first version of the project which has been upgraded to give the currently available build.
