Project Specs
Shattered Sky.
A narrative-driven co-op game where two players, bound by a parasite, must overcome distrust and cultural barriers while exploring alien worlds.
“How can asymmetric design and communication barriers in co-op games foster player empathy, emergent storytelling, and collaborative problem-solving?”
The Objective
Encourage cooperation through deliberate miscommunication, explore themes of trust and unity through branching narrative, and blend environmental storytelling with co-op puzzles and resource progression.
Key Features
5 Core Verticals
Asymmetric co-op — Drayk controls the environment; Aevi wields telekinesis.
Parasite mechanic — proximity-enforced collaboration; one dies, both die.
Communication barriers — distorted voice, limited telepathy, gestures only.
Narrative design with dual perspectives delivering conflicting information.
Multiple endings — Unity, Betrayal, or Destruction — driven by trust and decisions.
