  • Collaborated with environment artists and scripting teams to ensure natural flow between gameplay and narrative beats.

Project's completion

The project development started in 2009 and it was released on iOS in February 2010 as a premium title. The game was later re-released in 2011 as a free-to-play title with an added online multiplayer component, in which I was not involved as I had already moved on to another project.


The game was generally well received at that time, but also had some criticism due to AI being non-existent, and various gameplay situations feeling overly scripted.


Unfortunately, the game is no longer supported on modern devices because it was not updated for 64-bit operating systems, which caused it to become incompatible with newer devices. However fan ports and third-party APKs can still be found on specific sites on the internet.
