Saviour is a sidescroller platformer that follows the descent of an innocent, hopeful, saviour into their own worst nightmare - something unrecognisable - something they never intended or planned on becoming - a cold, heartless monster. Awakening to find yourself stuck in a rotten, broken-down cell – you are released from your chamber, only to clamber out and realise you've been stranded in a testing facility. Exploring the dangerous ruins is no easy task, and you soon find and free prisoners like yourself: innocents caught up in the maddening events transpiring. However the world takes a turn for the sinister when it becomes clear that sometimes not everyone gets to continue on. Confronted by the awful choice of choosing a victim for execution, you must come to grips with your own internal questions of morality as you send hapless prisoners to their death, to forge a route onwards for the others. All may be permitted in the name of survival, but who are we truly saving?

Game Features:

• Basic platforming mechanics (jumping, running, climbing), with potential for more complex inter-character mechanical interactions (giving another character a leg up, etc.)
• Multiple character control (swap what character is being controlled to choose their fate!)
• Dialogue based character interaction and narrative exposition (those characters aren't going to talk for themselves!)

Unique Selling Points:

• Subverting common tropes of heroism to explore a unique moral quandary in a personal light
• Explore the grey morality of choosing a sacrifice, and dealing with the fallout from that decision
