Nullborne

Description:

Nullborne is a rich story game developed in one week for Manchester Metropolitan University's fortnightly game jam, Game a Week. In this game, you play as the last Nullborne on Earth after your kind was driven to extinction. You receive a mysterious note and a strange device from your mother after she apparently vanishes into thin air...

Gameplay:

Use the ManaTech Glyph Transmuter to overcome your lack of abilities as a Nullborne. Sneak past the Guardians and find your mother before it is too late...

Main Mechanic:

Nullborne uses its own basic bytecode VM and compiler as a game mechanic. While not hugely extensive, this has taught me some of the basics of how bytecode can work as part of a game.

Controls:

• WASD: Move
• E: Interact
• TAB: Switch UI screens
• ESC: Skip cutscene

Features:

• Immersive story
• Unique bytecode mechanic
• Charming dialogue and characters
