The Festival: Hemmingward - IN DEVELOPMENT

In pursuit of a secret recipe, Nishma is roped into solving a decade-long mystery, and putting a village’s trauma to rest.

This is the prototype quest for The Festival, a larger game about putting on a food festival in a country that just got out of a civil war. It stars Nishma Mauranyan, and her friend/bodyguard Gil Yurez, as they visit the village of Hemmingward to speak with the townsfolk about taking part in the food festival.

As of November 11th, 2024, this build only features the first act out of three, which includes three environments, and six characters to speak with.

I am mostly uploading this for my friends and classmates to have a look at that. A full build featuring all three acts is scheduled to be uploaded around the first week of December, so stay tuned!
