Umiko

Umiko is a solo top-down adventure game set in a poetic and colorful world. The player has to explore the earth and the sea to find children's spirits and bring them back to their mother to stop an ongoing flood.

This game is a graduation project made by seven students from New3Dge that was done during our last year at school. It's a complete game (not a demo) with its own unique universe inspired by Genshin Impact and Studio Ghibli's movies. The game is approximately 15min long. Here is the full pitch :

On a peaceful island lives a shrine maiden named Umiko. Her goal as a maiden has always been to make sure that the local Kami, Kurage, and her children get their offerings every day.

But everything changed when, one day, she woke up late and forgot her duty. Kurage's children went hungry and left their mother's domain to find some food. Kurage started crying about the loss of her children and her tears flooded the island.

Umiko knows what she has to do, find the children and bring them back to Kurage to appease her and stop the flood.
