ARID Protocol

To save it from ruin, The Protocol attempted to freeze nature at the peak of its splendor. The result was a withered eternity: a stagnant world reduced to ruined deserts, scrap-metal mines, and a dying forest. But the system has detected an anomaly that threatens its 'perfect order': the little robot ARID. Hunted by his own creator, ARID must defeat the colossal machine, break the protocol, and restore water, color, and the cycle of life to a decaying planet.

CREDITS & PROJECT INFO

The total development time was exactly two months. I truly enjoyed working on this project as it’s my favorite genre, and it allowed me to channel the six years of experience I previously spent designing levels for various Nintendo game mods.
