Here is the final version of my project!

In this level, you play as Izara Elden, one of many characters from my world Timelines in Peril, as she attempts to retrieve a forbidden book from the Nightguardian’s grand Library– all while trying to avoid being caught by Rati’nex, the Nightguardian chronicler and librarian.

While nothing is officially locked off (i.e., the forbidden book area can be entered from the start, as I didn’t have time to implement actually picking up the key necessary for it), the full path of her little venture can still be walked: Using the secret passageways around the library to sneak into Rati’nex’s private study, steal the key to the gates upstairs, and enter the forbidden section where your prize awaits. More than anything, this level is a visual and conceptual demo, showing how the world of Timelines in Peril would be rendered in game form, from the painterly texturing to the architectural elements and overall visual style.

If you’d like to take a look around the level yourself, I have it up here on itch.io as both a Windows and Mac build.
