Island Explorer

What a chance! Your Professor asked you to accompany him on his next big expedition. You are going to visit a remote island, uninhibited by people, to find out more about the flora and fauna. Also, there have been some mysterious legends surrounding this place!

As a research assistant you will explore the island, fulfill quests and find hidden secrets - your notebook always at hand. Puzzle your way through blocked caves to discover new areas and meet the most peculiar creatures ...

This project was developed over the course of 2 months by students as part of a university course at Hochschule Sachsen-Anhalt (Köthen). The game has a completed storyline and is a beta version, possibly to be extended with additional functionalities and areas in the future.
