Pitch
13F is a first-person narrative game where the player embodies Sarah, a young woman exploring an abandoned building, the site of paranormal events in the 90s, with her brother James. The two protagonists find themselves trapped in a dangerous, incomprehensible, and unpredictable place they need to quickly escape from.
Project Summary
This project, undertaken at the end of the second year of study, focused on a pedagogical request to create an experience centered around the theme "Thrilling Narrative" The need for Narrative Design, intrinsically linked to Game Design, became apparent.
We opted for an immersive narrative experience featuring the avatar's progression in a detailed environment and serving a strong mythological narrative centered around the urban legend of the 13th floor.
The game gained significant attention through its itch.io page, with a community contributing theories and questions, adding substantial value to the project.
