THE STORY
Underneath a sky-replacing ocean, humans have endured a harsh life, dominated by sharp cliffs and the dim light spent by the Lumathans - giant sea creatures they worship. But all of this is about to change when they finally find a way to reach their gods.
MY WORK
The Deep Above is an ambitious world-building project I initiated together with 5 founding members. We created a world, different from ours, to illustrate the issues of our time. Placed in the climate fiction genre, The Deep Above asks the important question: What is the price of progress?
The initial stories are told in the full-CG short film The First Hunt & the 3D adventure game Last Lights. In the film, we show the adventurous mission to fly up to the ocean, hunt one of the lumathans for its light, and bring it down to the people. The game is set 100 years later and deals with the consequences of this pivotal event.
