Tinselfly

Tinselfly is an upcoming adventure game with light action elements, set in a science fantasy universe. Players take on the role of Robin Aetherspring, a listless starship engineer who once had dreams of bounding through the cosmos. When Robin becomes trapped in a bizarre starship graveyard, she must investigate its origins, free her crew and rediscover her love of space exploration.

Tinselfly explores storytelling methods that are uniquely suited to games. Each puzzle should teach the player a little bit about Robin and the world she lives in. Each repetitive task can be seen as a ritual, laced with meaning. Each inventory item is a physical representation of an aspect of Robin's identity. The goal of the project is not just to have players see or experience a compelling story, but to have players feel a strong connection to the story because they had to actively show an understanding of the story and characters throughout the game.
