Why inventing a new gameplay?

A few genres in indie videogames are overrepresented such as platformer, Metroidvania, or rogue-like! With Aveliana I want to bring novelty to indie games with a fun and original gameplay! It’s an infiltration-action-adventure game with an original, diverse, and extremely fun gameplay

What about the story?

While looking for three artifacts, Aveliana will wander a poetic yet dangerous world and discover about her and her environment! As in indie game developer and following my personal thoughts about our world, I wish to use the videogame as a media to share and carry meaningful messages. As a scientist, what passionate me the most is how a bunch of atoms can come to live, think, eat, love, etc. The fox that is the second most important character in the game is a symbol of natural beauty and cleverness that needs to be preserved! Aveliana is a strong and reckless bunch of pixels; she is guided by this fox and she starts to understand who she is thanks to him! The whole artistic design, being minimalistic and poetic, has been thought for you to enter into Aveliana’s story and to live a great experience!
