Story Concept

This is a story that I've had in the back of my mind the past few years, and now I'm finally visualising and working on it. I turned the story into a game concept for a school project. I'm currently working out the character designs and the background visuals, as well as writing out a clearer storyline/progression and if I have the time, I'll figure out some of the game mechanics. I also used this story for a different project, where I'm making it into a comic.

The game follows the boy as he attempts to escape from the forest and find his way back to his friends. The girl will act as his guide, giving him clues and hints to find his way back. The game will be meant to play repeatedly, as the boy appears to be stuck in a time loop, and every time he dies the game will start over. Each ending and playthrough will give you hints that will allow you to reach the escape ending eventually.
