This project is a dark whimsical illustrated card game inspired by the aesthetic of Don’t Starve. Created as part of my university studies, I designed the game to celebrate the works of famous writers, integrating their themes and styles into unique card illustrations. The game is fully printable and designed for an engaging player experience, combining creativity with functionality.
