Heart Cube
”The unfillable emptiness inside“
Project: Game Jam
Category: 3D Sokoban puzzle game
Engine: Unity
Platforms: Windows
-Heart Cube is a 3D Sokoban puzzle game.
-The main character fills the void inside by constantly shopping online and getting deliveries.
-We interpret the theme as a materialistic world where unfulfilled desires are like cracks, and the only way to fill the gaps is to keep stacking them with delivery boxes.
This was a Game Jam with a diagrammatic proposition and I came up with the idea of the diorama after brainstorming about the unusual gravity I saw due to it. At the same time, after investigating that the imagery represented by the ants could be inner restlessness and unease, I combined and simultaneously associated with the image of the girl looking at the gap filled with boxes to come up with this absurd theme. This is a true reflection of many people in China due to the boom in online shopping, so I came up with the concept of filling the gaps inside, which was eventually adopted by the team and decided to make a 3D Sokoban puzzle game.
After some testing, I edited the demo video and made a trailer.
Due to the shortage of time, we didn't end up with a real decryption operation in space. However, the judges agreed that our theme was very relevant.
