Hermit House
Project Name: A Home Below
Player Type: Single player
We are Hermit House, a close-knit team making short, beautiful, hopeful games with a focus on nature. Ivan is our team lead and programmer, with a background in film production. Blythe is our artist, a practicing sculptor and fine artist. Jess is our game designer and producer, a writer and researcher. We want to make games that are works of art – driven by visual storytelling and environmental research – inspiring wonder and curiosity about the natural world. We have released 2 previous games together and were recently selected for the Curios Indie Game Showcase exhibited at WASDxIGN.
Tranzfuser will enable us to create a short experimental demo (one small part of the full game) that expresses our unique voice and interests as a studio.
