Overview

A mixed-reality creature-companion experience where players build a relationship with Ember, a magical animal who gradually moves from her own realm into the player’s real-world space. The game blends VR exploration with MR interaction, letting players pet, feed, and play with Ember at home while also journeying with her through the vibrant “Otherlands.” Its focus is emotional connection, expressive animation, and gentle everyday storytelling. As Technical Animation Consultant, I advised on Ember’s animation systems to ensure her movements and behaviors foster a believable, emotionally engaging relationship with players across both VR and MR contexts.
