Roots

Featured in the USC 2023 Games Expo

Descend into a spellbinding journey that distorts the familiar into something eerily unfamiliar with Roots -- a 3D narrative adventure game that navigates the depths of fear and self-doubt.

Take on the role of a desperate but determined protagonist, stranded by a blown tire in the dead of night with little but a fickle flashlight and her own thoughts to guide her. Amongst only trees and darkness, she has no choice but to confront her paralyzing phobias and overcome the obstacles that lay before her.

Take caution though -- the dark is filled with the unknown, turning the night into a dogged adversary. One that tests resolve and should not be found wanting.
