Nightlight Cascade

Designed based on the brief of a Diorama-based, single-staged game with little to no UI, Nightlight Cascade meets the specifications outlined by being an entirely cubic-based Diorama, the game made up entirely of a singular stage, a stage which, in line with its environment, shifts and transforms as the Player explores the strange, abstract world they find themselves placed in.

Quintessentially, Nightlight Cascade follows the Player as they explore a dark, unknown world, purifying and painting the environment as they move, bringing light with every step, as they explore the stories of the small aspects of the world that surround them, from the trees, to the mushrooms, to the ancient, broken monoliths, everything has a story to tell.

With an almost infinitely roiling world, there is always more to explore, and always even more questions to try and hunt down the answers for.
