ALTERPATH - A Gravity Manipulating Puzzle Game

The Game

Prepare for a gravity-altering journey in ALTERPATH. Explore the abandoned facilities of the Linwood Miura Corporation and uncover their mysteries as you solve challenging puzzles with the help of their gravity technology.

Shift gravity to walk on walls and ceilings and use a variety of mechanics to overcome challenges such as the Gravity Cube and the Circumrotator.

Purpose

The project explored the following problem:

"How can the design of a game environment be integrated in the overall game flow, and in the individual challenges of the game?"

The synergy between visuals and gameplay in level design formed the foundation of this thesis. Level and environmental design in games serve a multitude of functions, providing the player with challenges, narrative and direction. When done well, it can elevate the experience for the player.
