Perfect Clue
Date: October 2023 - Present
Project Type: Game Development
Perfect Clue is a game that I'm developing for school. I started conceptualizing it by myself and now I'm working together with other classmates.
I'm the producer and lider of the group. I'm in charge of Game Design (gameplay, story and narrative and dialogues), 3D, animations and UI/UX design.
It's a visual novel that puts you in the shoes of Lucy James, a detective trying to solve a murder case in a small village.
For now, the game and all UI are in Portuguese, but in the future, it will also have an English translation.

One of the suspects
Name: Elizabeth (Eli) Spencer
Age: 30 years
Job: Journalist
Personality: Arrogant, authoritative, independent, confident.
Story: The village is very peaceful, and nothing ever happens for Eli to write about. Since there is no news to write, there are no newspapers to be sold, and as a result, the journalism post is not profitable and is at risk of being closed.
After Steven's death, Eli wrote a news story about the case, which saved her career and the journalism post. She is suspected of having killed him to get a sensational story.
