Mini-mortem™

The experience was well-received by the participants of the PTBO Game Jam 04, however, what we didn’t expect was the vast popularity of the project outside of its local target. Bringing some chaos and the usual Steam commentary on it not being long enough. While exhaustively explaining the intent of the experience, the question remains how we could have communicated more effectively that this was not meant to be a full production project.

From the onset of the idea of making BREATHE during a 32-hour game jam, we knew it was going to be a daunting endeavor. As a multiplier, we forced ourselves out of our comfort zone and used Blueprints exclusively with the Unreal Engine.
