THE WHALE’S RIBS
Interactive farewell location, made on UE4.
The whale’s ribs are the skeleton of a giant House, where magic once lived. It’s time to see it off on its last journey: at the very top, burning arrows are waiting in the wings.

Concept
A place that has preserved traces of past miracles and departed residents; the memory of the house that had been in ruins too long. Now it’s time to say goodbye: old things take up too much space.
For thrill: construction scale
For proximity: mundane details
For sweet melancholy: fog, light and sound
For the last goodbye: bow and fire arrows
Interactive
At the player’s approach, lighting up candles with configured flickering and fragile structural elements react.
Background sounds partially change in different areas of the location. On an unstable staircase, the camera is increasingly shaking.
At the end of the location, the player receives a bow with flaming arrows.
Screenshots
Once upon a time, networks of corridors stretched across the Ribs…
…deep from underground…
…to the very sky.
