Hands of fate

Hands of Fate is a school project in which we were instructed to do research for Rutgers Stichting, a foundation for sex education, and present potential ideas for it. This is an animation and concept for a potential video game about dealing with sexual intimidation.

The gameplay resembles a highly interactive first-person visual novel where you make decisions to save yourself and your friends from harm in various situations.

The art style is focused on the visualization of hands. This is because hands represent a lot of things. It’s the not only the main thing people use to defend themselves or harm others, but are also used to communicate messages. Even help-signals in this case. Aside from that, the body language of the hands is expressive enough to tell a story with. All by itself.

The main colour pallet is a contrast between dark purple and gold. These colours represent the good and evil intent within people respectively and would be implemented as such throughout the game.
