A Whisper of Smoke

A Whisper of Smoke is a 2d-platforming short story game about PTSD. The project was inspired by PTSD cases found in children during research and is aimed to communicate how it manifests and unfolds.

The game is available to download and play here: https://jessuka.itch.io/a-whisper-of-smoke

I programmed the particle effects and collidable smoke obstacles. I implemented the minimap and tutorial icons for teaching controls. I worked with my teammates to design the level and platforming layout. I also worked on the animations for the star collecting icon.
