Candlebriary Tales

Inspired by the work of games like Hollow Knight and Baten Kaitos, Candlebriary Tales is a short-form video game that consists of several picturebook-like hand-drawn scenes, putting the player in the perspective of mobs— goblins—  whose daily life is disrupted by invading adventurers. Using a real-time RPG battle system, Candlebriary Tales opens up players to perspectives that are either normalized or ignored, highlighting concepts of colonialism, villainization, and shared “humanity.”
