Beautiful Delirium is my final year project with a primary focus on Character Design with support in Environment, Weapons & Props Design.
Beautiful Delirium is a Game Art Bible on a 3D Psychological Horror Action Adventure game where players control Daughter, a mental asylum patient, as she must escape a dark dreamworld that she woke up to by facing her inner demons that she buried to be long forgotten.
Players will traverse through 3 different levels with different leveled bosses, which they must defeat to proceed. Players have access to level-exclusive weapons and props to help their journey.
The art direction for this to take inspiration from Chinese culture as well as Sarawak landscape. The style is semi-realistic with minimal details and simple shadings.
