2nd Course Crit – Trace

Shuyang Huang, Ziyu Zhang

In Trace, the protagonist initially appears as a cellular orb attached to a skeletal structure. This being then leaps onto the pathway of cultural and societal development. As it observes the collapse of human civilization and ensuing disorder, the orb descends into water, transforming into a human form. Upon this transformation, the protagonist finds him/herself in a world distinct from the present reality. This realm is inverted, with time flowing in reverse. Blooming flowers revert to their seed form, symbolizing the cycle of life. Ultimately, the character is swallowed by darkness once more.

The video shows the first theme of the game: the protagonist jumps onto the ramp of culture and civilization.

Then we play with the camera position of the scene.
