ROOK // GAME CONCEPT
ROOK is a Jump'n'Run/Adventure sidescroller game about two children that have been left by the whole world and take their fate into their own hand.
Shortly before his coronation, 12-year old Ed stays with his younger brother Rick in the Tower of London, until he falls victim to an intrigue one night and is murdered by strangers. Rick, warned by finding the lifeless body, sets off to escape the Tower. But he is not alone: The ghost of his brother follows his every step. Together they are trying to find a way out of the Tower...and who the murderer is.
Based on a true story of the "Princes in the Tower".
ROOK was created as my bachelor project for MSD Münster School of Design over the course of 3 months. The full documentation on the project in German language can be viewed here.
The plot of the game
The game route, too, is based on a real map of the Tower of London.
Each building section is a level on its own, starting from the Garden Tower to the central point, the White Tower.
