The Gaunt is a small, narrative-driven RPG set in a world out of time. Play as The Traveller, a character forced to visit this world as a stop-gap on a greater journey.
I created it as a portfolio project to showcase my writing skills.
The splash screen and title screen state “Beyond Jupiter Games,” a faux game studio I created for the project. You can see my full name in the credits.
I created the game with several criteria in mind, namely:
- It must be built in GB Studio;
- There is only a two-colour pallet (because I’m terrible at art);
- The game can be completed in under 30 minutes;
- It includes very basic quests, controls, and battle interfaces.
