A visual teaser for a story-driven puzzle game addressing the classic tales of sins and human pitfalls in a contemporary context, where social media, internet culture, and advanced AI technologies make it even harder to decipher right from wrong.
Loosely inspired by the epic divine comedy piece Dante´s Inferno, and with a focus on visual design, the project offers a humorous approach to the classic by taking the player on a journey through the sins of an oblivious influencer.
Level 3 'Mirror Mirror'
The level deals with the desire for beauty, self-image and distorted representations of beauty on social media, leading people to undergo surgical procedures or follow unhealthy guidelines to meet unrealistic beauty standards.
A controversial side of social media culture, influencers are well known for their practices of promoting undisclosed brand deals of beauty and image-related products, to be ‘on trend’ and admired by their followers.
Perfect is the new fake.
