Urban Explorers is an adventure game in which you command a group of three explorers from a RTS-esque point of view through abandoned architecture, searching for hidden secrets.

Background

Created during a module during the BA Game Design, the task was to inspect old video games of the 80s and 90s and borrow mechanics from them, then turning them into a new game idea. Inspirations were mainly Pitfall! for the Atari 2600 and The Elder Scrolls: Arena for their adventure-themed settings. The RTS-style point of view was loosely inspired by Archon: of Light and Dark and more modern RTS games.
