Description:

Naraba Tales is the first game for iOS from the kids game series Naraba World. It is an adventure and puzzle game where Andrea must help her brother Hugo who has fallen in a deep slumber by the powers of a mysterious magic mirror. In order to do that, she must travel between real and dreams world, and complete several objectives in a 3D world. During their adventure, players must meet other characters and success in several trials. These trials are 2D minigames that test player's might and wit.

My role:

  • Game Designer
  • Puzzle Design
  • Story Design
  • Level Design
  • Sound Design

I designed the whole game as single designer under the supervision of the lead designer. Starting from characters from previous Naraba games, I wrote a new story and make the entire game around it. I introduced new characters like Morpheo, and give sense to the mechanic of completing tasks for getting the objective and traveling from real world to dreams world.

I also designed all levels, since towns to dungeons that contain patrolling enemies and collectibles. Each dungeon has several puzzle minigames, created from original concepts, with multiple levels for each minigame. There is also an arcade game that serves as trip between worlds.
