After the Rain is a serious game prototype developed as part of my MSc Serious Games & Virtual Reality research project.
It explores how gentle, emotionally sensitive play can support women after a romantic breakup.
Through 2D narrative scenes, a quiet 3D home-care routine, and interaction with a rescued cat, the game invites players to practice care, reflection, emotional regulation, and gradual recovery.
The prototype combines cozy gameplay, companion-based caregiving, hospital treatment interaction, save/continue functionality, and an adaptive final scene. Rather than presenting healing as a problem to be solved, After the Rain creates a calm space for rebuilding everyday well-being, self-compassion, and a quieter sense of hope.
Masterpiece—puzzle solving game
A 3D puzzle and exploration game developed in Unity, combining environmental storytelling with interactive puzzle mechanics. I was responsible for environment and character design, 3D asset creation, level building, audio implementation, and puzzle development using C#, creating a cohesive and immersive gameplay experience.
