The Ritual

An indie game where you play as a demonic spirit that is summoned by an old lady to bring back her deceased loved ones. You must traverse her ranch property to collect items her loved ones left behind, but you can only walk in shadows. Move objects around the property to create shadows and reach your target, but don’t get comfortable, because each level is a different time of day that moves the objects’ shadows.
I was responsible for the 3D environment layout and design, 3D asset creation, UI/UX asset creation and development.
This project started as a industry-led summer course at Texas A&M University, but ultimately became a self-published title and accepted as a nominee for the 2022 Independent Games Festival (IGF) student submission award.
