///Death's Advocate\\\
"A Reaper in a World with no God."

Death's Advocate is a Baroquian-surrealist action-adventure video game where players play the role of Advo, a devoted disciple, who under the tutelage of Grim, will hopefully one day take the role of the Reaper. The game follows the exploits of Advo as he, just like the other disciples with him, is in training to become the next Reaper, and earn the right to wield the omnipotent Scyth. This video game explores existential phenomenology, mostly by works of Nietzsche and Camus, and dabbles in related fields such as religion, anthropology, and medical humanities.

The plot follows the exploits of Advo, the newly christened Grim Reaper, who must travel between planes of existence and being, guiding lost souls to where their religion would have them rest. On his journey, he must face and conquer adversaries, and other disciples, on his road to victory. Unfortunately for Advo, he struggles through difficulties and hardship, as he is a Reaper in an age of secularism; an era where religion is not as prominent as it once was for the previous Reapers, which made their job super easy. Players come across torn souls with no religious or supernatural ties, and the player must give them something to believe in, or find substitutes to please the spirits, and find a way to put their souls at ease.

//Gameplay\\
Death's Advocate is primarily an action-adventure game, and as such, features a heavy emphasis on combat and crisis events. The player controls Advo, the absurd protagonist, and engages in fast-paced, unpredictable warfare; platforming, from environmental puzzles to parkour; and most importantly, dialogue and discourse. Advo's primary weapon is the legendary Scythe of Grim, which can perform a variety of attacks, defends, and gory finishing moves.

Alongside the Scythe, Advo may use various occult spell based attacks and abilities to aid in combat, many of which are acquired and learned as the game progresses. The training sequence is hilariously outdated and archaic: players practice against opponents who still fight with medieval arms (this is both a balancing feature and a nod towards how old the current Reaper is, and is an ageist jest and satire of how the elderly sometimes not use new technology.

The most important feature, which is vital to both progression and narrative, is the discourse gameplay feature. This feature deals with the human aspect, with players having to negotiate with forgotten, cast away souls, and free them from purgatory by giving them new meaning and life.

Overview:

Reach is a platforming puzzle game on mobile. The core of the game is that you play as a character down some kind of well or chasm. The only tool you have is a pick axe. There is a rope dangling down the centre of the screen and you have to find a way to reach it and climb up to the next level. You can reach this rope in many different way, but the base mechanic is to jump and then tap the screen to hit your pick axe into the wall, which allows you to grab onto the wall. You can then jump backwards onto the wall behind you and so on in order to get higher up. You will encounter other challenges such as more complex level design which may require you to climb to one ledge and move things around so that you can reach the rope, as well as unstable surfaces that break and traps. You can also collect bonuses which allow you to jump higher and grapple for longer.

In this game the player plays as a knight who seems to be over encumbered, and since his stamina level is so low, he can't walk. Their only way of movement is though lunging to either side of them with their sword.

The game is based around the core mechanic of movement + attack at the same time. This can be detrimental to the play in a lot of situations, as attacking and moving into a horde of enemies or attacking and falling off of an edge .etc. The player will be able to control the lunge distance by how long they hold the attack button down, giving some control. The players will still be able to jump, but to advance or retreat backwards they need to perform some attack.

The game will be a 2D platformer, to make level design easier. The levels would be randomised and difficult, adding some replayability to the game.

Shuffle is a card game where you have to throw cards at the other player. The game play works like the Frisbee game in tron except you use cards that have effects. You play in first person and are in a cage with another player. There is a gap in between you and the other person. You have a card in one hand and you scroll the mouse wheel to cycle between your other 10 cards. You will not run out of cards but they will go on a cool down when you throw them. The cards are made up of minions, area effects and direct attack cards. When you throw the minion cards and they land on the other side of the cage a minion will come out of it and attack the other player. The area effects will will blow up and destroy the area it affected so the other player will fall in in and die. Direct attack cards will do damage to players or minions.

This game is the practice of meditation, gamified, and designed to be used as an aid to effectively meditating.

You play in a sitting position (or whatever position you find comfortable), with the device placed on somewhere on your body (ex. Lap while sitting). The aim of the game in short is to go as long as possible without moving - which assumes a still posture. You compete with your own age, gender, nationality demographic, and with you're past progress.

The game uses the device accelerometer which is used to measure and track movement patterns. Slight movements such as movement caused from breathing etc. are taken into account to ensure players don't 'cheat' (like leaving a device on the floor).

'Meditation' users screening questions when setting up a profile about your body, lifestyle, which allows it to create a profile relative to your demographic stats. This is then used to set the parameter for how long you have to meditate for. This means players are effectively competing on a difficulty suited to them.

This game serves to offer a method to meditation, which aims to address problems that stem from western societies' difficulty to 'disconnect' from the ever-increasing stress of every day life. Numerous studies already show links between daily stress and health conditions such as anxiety disorders and heart disease.

Platform: Mobile devices, the size no larger than 6".

this is a horror movie simulator game played on any VR Headset it consists of a room thats scanned by the proximity scanners to make a virtual display of your room, the game is settled around a story of a young student taking an art course but hes made a mistake and decided it would be a good idea to not sleep for 3 days and listen to old pop punk music. now you are deprived of sleep.

you've just realized you slept for 6 hours straight after going to work and now its 11:00! you only have an hour to finish a daily art assignment which requires you to have a picture and a description, since you know students previous to have created what you're thinking of doing you decide to try put a twist on it and actually try make a game out of it. your job within your 3D generated room is to search around the objects the game places in the room and come up with the most interesting idea for your daily assignment, but you're deprived of sleep dont forget, this game works in short rounds that slowly get more and more dark (literally) the longer it takes to meet the assignment criteria. the ever looming thought of missing even just 1 assignment scares you even though the percentage mark it rewards you with doesn't seem to compensate for the effort involved. the player is only given 10% of the overall score they gain for finishing each task, each level you pass the objects you're allowed to make ideas from gets diminished.

Path of Light is a mobile puzzle running game, where a star runs endlessly across a path of light that stretches through space. The player needs to draw the direction the light travels in, being sure to avoid space debris, as if your path is hit, the bridge breaks, and your star falls. (I know there is no gravity in space. I'm an art student, not a scientist) The longer you run, the harder the bridge is to maintain, as you are given a limited amount of star dust to draw with, and need to wait for your bridge to fade to gain more. Levels also gain in speed, so you will need either quick reactions, or lots of practice, to be able to pass some of them. Scores are given by efficiency of the bridge, the time taken to complete the level, and the difficulty of the level itself (and a combo bonus for doing these things multiple times in a row"

A light-hearted time-waster game for IOS and Android.

The player controls a giant fluffy hammer with their finger, dragging to move and tapping the screen to strike down. The game world is an dimetric view of a series of holes in the ground- the different levels will have differing numbers of holes, as well as differing terrains/themes. Prairie Dog looking creatures are constantly heard chattering, and in rapid succession they will suddenly and quickly poke their faces up out of any given hole. The player has to be quick enough to tap each one on the nose with the fluffy hammer before they disappear underground again! A successful strike will result in a surprised squeak and a reward of tokens that can be saved up and traded in for helpful buffs (like an ability to slow down the game time marginally for a limited time) and unlocking new skins for the landscape and hammer.

As well increasing numbers of holes and Prairie Dog creatures in the later levels, the speed at which the creatures bob in and out of the ground will also increase so buffs will become a bit of a necessity to score well.
