The Undergrowth

Ako, my child, it’s time to come home. The Undergrowth isn’t what it used to be, but you’re stronger than you know.

Complete your duty.

What is “The Undergrowth”?

My Roles: Art director, lead artist, and UI designer on a team of three people.

Engine: Unity (C#).

The Undergrowth is short Metroidvania, inspired by Hollow Knight, for Karina Popp’s Intermediate Game Dev class. 

You are Ako, a shy but determined boy beginning his journey to return to a home he left long ago.

But things have changed since he’s last been there. Corruption has spread through the land, and strange magical creatures are making his old home a dangerous place. Use your magic to battle your way through, and meet characters both old and new, on your way back to the Undergrowth.
