TESTARIA

THE GREEN CHILD

Story :

In the fantasy world of Testaria, hunger crawls everywhere.  The people are praying every day, more and more, as faith cramps up like never before.  The gods have been helpful enough to give food and hope to everyone yet. But, a prophecy written by the gods on the front of ancient temples seems to predict the end of this time. "A baby, with eyes of light, will cause fire and blood, and after five moons, the end o..." (The temple is broken, we can't read the rest of the text). The people, alive for the moment, are apprehensive about the birth of this damned baby. 

A priest claims that he discovered the end of the prophetic writings. He finds the wicked child and tries to save him, neglecting the hopes of the population.  In a last movement of bravery, the villagers try to get and kill the baby before the prophecy accomplish. The priest runs away into the woods. 

Gameplay:

The game isn't made yet, so this section may change a lot. For the moment, Testaria would be a 2d side-scroller game. You would run away from the angry villagers, using the baby's power to your advantage.

Music :

The music reflects the magical side of this world. Many of the songs are ambient and calm, like a fairytale. But some of them also carry the fear that the chased priest feels while running through the dense forest. It was composed by @_martin_nadaud_ alias Alpa or ALPAGAMES

Artwork:

All the drawings were made @art_with_marie during the OST Comp Jam. You can see multiple views of what the game could look like. 

Composer note:

I have joined this jam to improve my skills in composing. It's my first ever real composition. I was really inspired by the theme  "Runaway". Even if the submissions ended on the 17th, I had to cut it short and finish everything before the 13th of July., which means I had 4 days less than the others. Nevertheless, I think the final product isn't too bad, and I'm even pretty proud of myself.
