You are an art thief who learnt by chance that there is a glove with the power to create time rifts. Breaking into the museum, you unknowingly caused a catastrophe that has transported you to a parallel universe. You need to go back in time to fix your wrongs and place things back to what they used to be...
And that sums up the plot of VOID, a first-person puzzle game where players switch between parallel worlds to overcome obstacles. Created by team Minus5, a group of students that recently graduated from the DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore, the game prototype won the "Excellence in Technology" award and the "Best Student Game" in the Independent Games Festival (IGF) China.
Forming the team Minus5 are six students – Zoel Gan, Ravindran Mark, Tan Chee Ming, Chan Sin Huan, Leau Tat Sin and Zou Xinru, who attended the WSQ DigiPen-Ubisoft Campus programme. A collaborative effort between DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore, Ubisoft Singapore, and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), it is a 10-month course comprising both academic and production phases. Graduates are provided with the necessary knowledge and industry production experience that they need to join the competitive video game industry.
A total of 6 games were developed through 3 cohorts and here are the other five. Do give them a try!
