GOSSAMER

Anguish, will, euphoria - all these emotions will embody you intro a true summoner in this dark astral world. 

Your loyal summons will protect the Body from hungry souls, while you must search for energy to disrupt the Body’s chakras.

• Move to generate mana
• Search for astral pulses to advance your summons
• Act fast as waves of enemies get progressively harder
• Complete challenges to earn permanent upgrades
• Empathize with the protagonist’s story.. or not? 

This 2.5 D strategic tower defence game explores fresh game directions:

1. The combination of 2D and 3D assets create an uneasy atmosphere that mirrors the chaos, uncertainty, and ambiguity of the astral realm.
2. A somber narrative that allows players to step into the protagonist’s and ponder if they would have done the same choices. Would you rather kill than remain trapped in the astral realm for eternity?

The project was brought to life by a team of four during an internship designed for five. Despite the missing member, the team poured all their love, attention, sweat, tears, and blood into successfully creating this baby. Today, we present a product that bends rules and charms players, that showcases exceptional design, artistic, and programming skills. 

We extend our gratitude to our publisher, Octopus 8 Studios, for sponsoring and providing this opportunity for us, Brunel University Games Design students, to test and display our talents.
