Through Their Eyes and Octoport Synopsis

The game project Through Their Eyes centres around Heather the cat finding her way through the eerie and daunting alleys of a surreal city. She gradually discovers that dangers wait around each corner in this unfamiliar landscape and solutions lie in the most unlikely objects. Her cat senses uncover a whole new world, revealing a trail leading to secrets about her past and details of the wider world.

Octoport is a Horror/Adventure game set in the surreal location of a seemingly infinite warehouse for the fictional delivery conglomerate: Octoport. You play as an investigative journalist who has broken into the factory to uncover evidence of worker mistreatment to create exposé articles revealing the company’s sinister inner workings. With a camera, you need to photograph and collect evidence and evade brainwashed floor managers who relentlessly stalk your whereabouts. What will you find during your time at Octoport?

Matthew Jenkins Project

Motivation

Both projects were assigned briefs by clients but I challenged myself to find interesting and innovative ways to explore characters, environments, level art and 2D animation across these game projects and all other work on the course.
