False Paradise

Based on the theme “inside my world”, False Paradise is a story-driven 2D platformer.

After the passing of her mother, the young protagonist buries her subconscious emotions deep within and secludes herself into her own world, trying to ignore the perils of reality. Crafted from the wonder and imagination of a child, her world is as whimsical as it is perfect. Everyone is there and everyone is happy. But her family is nowhere to be seen. So she sets off on a quest to find them.

Main Theme

_TRACK 2: Spindly Spire

Spindly Spire

The tallest tower in the world. It has long since been abandoned due to its unstable structure and much wildlife have made it their home. It is right beside the big cliff and the only path to the Memory Plateau. The protagonist climbs up the tranquil yet precarious tower, avoiding its various traps and wildlife. As she traverses through the tower, however, she spots multiple abnormal hospital rooms with black silhouettes of her mother and herself. Upon nearing the top of the tower, the frail architecture fails her and the structure falls apart as she sprints towards the top. 

Memory Plateau

The serene plateau at the top of the cliff. As the protagonist moves through the Memory Plateau, her buried memories can be seen in the many bubbles that populate the plateau. Some of the bubbles form familiar figures. Her family. They comfort and encourage her to face reality. Though she is hesitant, she trusts their words.

_TRACK 3: Ingrained Fear

With a renewed sense of confidence, the protagonist searches for a way to leave. But her subconscious won't let her leave. She is still afraid deep down. The world becomes unstable and she is forced to run as the world crumbles behind her. Her surroundings keep changing between the different locations until she reaches her subconscious.

_TRACK 4: False Paradise

Her subconscious is a black silhouette of herself, who has been bearing the pain of the incident all alone. Her subconscious tries to convince her to stay in this world, and to forget everything else. But the protagonist is finally ready to share the burden, and becomes whole once again.
