A collection of key (or scrapped team favorite!) shots from all seven cutscenes of Spiral Peak. These collages were assembled to draw in passersby to our playtesting table at our senior showcase (May 2025) and represent sequences that had not yet been built into the game.
Over ten months (August 2024-June 2025), myself and fifteen classmates developed, marketed, and presented this visual novel-rock climbing simulator hybrid game under the name Cryptids Studios. I had the honor of being the team’s creative director and 2D lead. In our game, you play as Elmsy as they grapple with the consequences of what may be the most destructive choice of their life: returning home to West Virginia to settle a family emergency. When an argument with their spouse, Willow, goes too far, she disappears into the mysterious and dangerous woods of Spiral Peak. In the face of perilous cliffs and unearthly forest dwellers, can Elmsy win back the love they've sworn to fight for?
