Team members: Tito Pasquier and Derek Heinbach

Game name: Journey Through the Void

The game is set in an empty hell named the Void. To its inhabitants it is a twisted, dark, and infinitesimal plane of existence. To an outsider, the Void is empty, barren, and dark, hence why it is called the Void. The basic premise of the game is you are a humanoid Void Daemon, a resident of the void, who stumbles upon an angel, out of place in this empty wasteland. You find this creature intriguing, and decide to help her find a way out, before something else finds her and tries to kill, or consume her.
