Young Springs

Concept

Young Springs is a short indie first person puzzle game that explores growing up and the uncertainties we face in the form of puzzles. Each level is themed around one stage of life, highlighting the experiences and meaning of each one from a sociological perspective. The end of the game introduces the player to a new phase of life, the one of a young adult: when everything you knew is left behind, and everything must be rewritten in a barren land.

The place in which the game takes place, a temple in the middle of nowhere, is completely abstract, given that it tries to portray human feelings in a physical space. This is why the architecture of the setting is European with touches of Ottoman and Moorish architecture.

The goal of this game experience is to generate within the player an intrinsic goal to explore the universe they’ve been placed in, by revealing information about it bit by bit, room by room.
