Read project brief

Echoes of Innocence follows Mathis, a 10-year-old navigating a war-torn city to find his sister Lina. The game blends exploration, moral dilemmas, stealth, and inventory mechanics across locations such as a hidden rebel camp, a ruined cathedral, and the kidnapper’s lair—each revealing fragments of family memories.

Co-created with David J. Barnes, Michael Kolling, and D. Bureau, the project expanded the BlueJ world by refactoring navigation to HashMap exits, adding item collections with weight limits, and introducing branching endings driven by player choices.
