In Development
Strays Of War
The game takes place in 1974 in Czechoslovakia in Prague, after the events of the Prague Spring in 1968. In this fictional timeline within the game, the occupation of Czechoslovakia escalated into a war between Czechoslovakia and the members of the Warsaw Pact. Through a revolution of the people versus the corrupt government, a new political party created by the people overthrew the government and fought back against the Soviets.
The game starts just as the occupation of Prague is taking place, and the players will control their chosen character as they go about their day-to-day life. Suddenly the war starts around them, as the city of Prague is under attack from the Soviet Union causing destruction and chaos. Within the destruction, the relationship between the characters begins to form as they are forced to work together to survive the war.
The players take control of a cat and a dog, with their story centred around the uneasy relationship between them and is put to the test through environmental circumstances and destruction taking place around them. The game is based around an environmental story and a puzzle adventure that introduces puzzles that the players need to work together to solve to progress through the game.
After extending our ideas, we came up with a new location and design based on Pragues city blocks and decided to have the player characters start off within the block separated from the city outside.
Began the project with a simple sketch of the sort of layout I wanted with how I first imagined the beginning of the game level to look like. The games direction then changed as our ideas began to develop.
