Hii! I just released my debut game 'The Lonely Architect'! Please let me know what you think! :)
The Lonely Architect is a 2D atmospheric platformer that delves into the subconscious of an overworked architect struggling with isolation. This debut game from Odaro Eguavoen, solo developer behind Ekosodi Games, started off as a demo which won a Top 25 Finalist position in the ‘Safe In Our World’ 2024 Game Jam.
Using a series of eerie spaces and landscapes, a desolate atmosphere becomes the backdrop to this minimalist game.
The game has two game modes:
BUILD MODE
A 2D block building mode. Use a series of blocks to create unique architectural structures and illustrations in an empty, grid-based world.
STORY MODE
This mode visually illustrates the narrative behind the game through a series of platform puzzles spread across four acts:
ACT 1: Emptiness | ACT 2: Heaviness
ACT 3: Who Am I? | ACT 4: Where is Home?
Each act explores a different theme and point in the architect's journey towards and out of loneliness through surreal environmental storytelling.
As you explore these different aspects of his mind, you encounter reflections of his mental state and the obstacles he faces, leading to an unusual epiphany.
