The Cursed Men
The Cursed Men is a dark fantasy game where language learning is implemented through teh dialogue of the characters and makes language learning not only more interesting but bring context to the words being introduced.
Learn through engagement
The Cursed Men gameplay introduces language learning intuitively through experiences the language as you play through. Through the dialogue there is an active translator as you read the story, talk to NPCs or go on quests.
Vision
The Cursed Men game is meant to make language learning more entertaining for an older audience that avoids the typical methods in usual language learning applications. I wanted to create something that's run and educational without dragging through course lessons that are boring but an actual story! And with a story, is artwork.
Art work
I really wanted to have a style that felt fresh but still had retro style to accompany the tone. 2.5D isn't new, but how it can be applied can be a game changer to how a game and story are presented. Here I want any bright moments to feel bright with a pixelated style and able to easily dip into a dark or perhaps even spooky moments of the story.
