A downloadable game for Windows

About -

This is the Cave Dungeon area for the open-world game Awakening; a thesis project at NYU in which I was the level designer and environment artist. It is located deep inside the cave system where the Mushroom people race live. It is a massive channel of natural cave where at its heart an offering shrine is located. Behind the locked doors is a mural that teaches the player a new word that is required in order to beat the game. The area features a maze-like layout with platforming, rolling, and puzzle mechanics such as keys and geysers to navigate the cave.

Rolling: Rolling down slopes, hills, and ramps builds up the player's speed which allow for faster travel and longer jumps. Use the terrain to roll to reach seemingly inaccessible areas.
