Atone
ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree is a narrative-driven puzzle adventure inspired by Norse mythology, set in a beautifully crafted 2D world of hand-drawn angular artwork. Players follow the journey of Estra, a young warrior who must solve intricate environmental puzzles and engage in rhythm-based combat as she uncovers the mystery surrounding her father's death.
As Wildboy Studios' debut title, ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree was selected by Apple as an exclusive launch title for Apple Arcade, Apple's premium gaming subscription service. The game was among the first hand-picked titles funded by Apple and launched globally across Apple devices, marking a significant milestone for the studio and establishing Wildboy Studios on the international stage.
"There has never been a game quite like this, but I this hope this will not be the last" - IGN
For Atone, I was primarily responsible for animating the 2D characters using Photoshop’s frame-by-frame animation workflow. I also took on a major role in implementing and integrating these animations into Unity. The art work was done by my co-founder.
I was involved in the game’s environments, which included supporting level design and implementing environments directly in Unity. I ensured the artwork, gameplay elements, narrative beats with cohesively with the environments.
I contributed to both puzzle design and UI design, helping develop gameplay interactions that felt intuitive and complemented the narrative experience.
