The Untold Story of Bernadette
This is my senior thesis known as Bernadette, a 3D side-scroller experience where you follow the story of Bernadette and her journey to escape the home of "The Caretaker". The project is reminiscent of Tarsier Studios’ Little Nightmares but has the artistic style of Laika’s stop motion films such as The BoxTrolls, ParaNorman, and Coraline.
For an in-depth breakdown of the project, please check out my article that was recently released on 80 Level:
