Reclamation introduction Screenplay
​
Reclamation is a gameplay focused metroidvania project by Hat Hair Games. When I joined them, the creative director only had a vague idea of the story and characters. I wrote the introduction sequence and gave the playable character a narrative objective and a personality. (More info here)
Every sample below are about a world I imagined: HimminHvalur.
​
What is left of humanity is scattered on small islands. Beaten by waves, crushed by winds, bitten by cold, the small village of Eldey is starving as fishes have vanished. Word is HimminHvalur, the legendary, mysterious but most dangerous whale, is responsible for these evils. Alone on his boat, investigating the night sky, exploring the depths’ darkness, young Sæll will explore the enigmatic past of the ocean, find the whale, save his island.
