The Lost Light is a 2D Platformer/Adventure game I did as a submission for the Game Design course while studying at RMIT University Vietnam.

Course lecturer: Nguyen Huu Tu.

​

Taken the theme of human versus nature, the game lets player explore the journey of a nameless girl who was lost, far away from the bustling city, and must find her own way out of the dark forest with vicious animals. Along the way, player can pick up 'Light' and use the item to survive through the forest. Player must collect all missing 'Heart' items to win the game. I wanted the game to be a personal experience for each person and opened to different interpretations - whether its meaning is something abstract or just simply a platform game. I looked for a relaxing, mystical and ethereal visual with moonlit dark scenes.

Game instruction:

"You found yourself lost in the middle of nowhere late at night. Faraway, the city is still as bustling as ever, but there's no way turning back. You must go on and find your own way out. A deep forest ahead. A chance encounter with strange animals - the wounded and the resentful. We are all lost. Here in this place, what comes around goes around. Help them and you will be helped."
