Anassara

Anassara is an adventure point-and-click game set in an arid desert.

This project is a draft, a graphic essay born from an observation, the African world is practically absent from the video game world.

It's a mix, an aesthetic bricolage combined with a giant puzzle inspired by the 90's Lucas Art games, the Myst series, and Riven.

Anassara takes place in a seemingly remote world, far from post-industrial technology, in a world of sub-Saharan Africa. It is a world of a mysterious society that has disappeared due to the extraction of a resource by an anonymous entity and whose foundations we must understand in order to travel, explore and understand its history. 

We are of an extraterrestrial kind and our ship made of ice has broken up over a desert planet where everything is in ruins or abandoned.

People lived here and mastered the light in a clever way, but something went wrong at one point. In Anassara we will have to understand and solve the various systems in order to master and move the light. It seems that here the climate has stopped, that it is blocked, and that the ancient inhabitants guide us to an unknown place through different elaborate systems. From dawn to night, the boards allow us to cross a mysterious world. Sometimes strange and dangerous, sometimes playful and breathtaking. 

The game is realized with a multitude of techniques. Drawing, painting, photomontage, and AI to produce a whole universe to develop a story.

A meeting between two characters lost in a strange universe who will have to quickly find their spirits to save or abandon this place to its sad fate. Replanting the field of the abandoned village, understanding the different systems left to abandon, and mastering the light that lead us to a dark night full of surprises.

What you can test is an unfinished version from this year. Without puzzles and not very playable. We plan to expand on it in the coming years.
