    • The Great Fleece

    Point and click, stealth.

    • In this game, i created four visually pleasing cutscenes for my game, The Great Fleece. Join Darren, our thief, in this stealth adventure game as he silently descends a black rope and lands in the Beatrice Auction House. with panoramic views of the auction house’s treasures: glittering jewels, marble, and fine artwork. Using voiceover and suspenseful music to allow the player a quick glance at the security cameras, patrolling guards, and the main vault. Pull the player into your story and artfully explain your game objective.
