Recollection is a VR interactive narrative game that focuses on how trauma affects a person’s memory and perception of time through painting objects in a 3D environment. Recollection aims to illustrate how trauma emotionally affects people and encourage empathy in people who have not experienced these symptoms. Recollection specifically focuses on civilian trauma, a type of trauma that is not often discussed in depth in interactive media outside of being a plot point.
As the lead 3D artist on Recollection, I modelled the majority of the assets and developed the primary watercolor artstyle. I then created handmade textures to be utilized in our custom shader.
