Promising Times | A game for Andy's Man Club

Promising Times is a 3D Side-Scroller video game in which the player lives through four days in the life of Oliver. 

In the beginning Oliver struggles with different aspects of his current life and is not in the best shape. However, the various encounters during the game change this fact and his mood improves. Interacting with characters has impact on the environment. The world gets more colourful, more lively and music changes. 

The game was created in cooperation with the men’s suicide prevention charity Andy’s Man Club:

The goal was to create an uplifting and engaging experience for players that may identify with Oliver and his struggles. They should have an encouraged feeling after playing and finishing the game. The ethos of the game is the slogan of Andy’s Man Club: 

#ItsOkayToTalk 

This game was created by five people over eight weeks as a student project.
