Rock bottom is a game that follows a simple character running through a journal of someone suffering from depression. The player acts as this character running through dramatizations of the journal writer's mental state with narration over the top. The game plays as a side scrolling platformer and has light puzzle mechanics.
Overall the game was in many aspects a solo project. the core story and content covered in the game is all deeply personal as i based it heavily off of my various notes and journal entries while i experienced depression and suicidal thoughts. These notes i then used to form the story/narration though out the game and influence the mechanics of each level
While working on the project I was fortunate enough to work with Kate Joyce and Theo Gianoli. They created all the character animations:
walk cycle
swim cycles
falling animation
jumping animation
