Introduction

It is a roll-and-move board game that includes random resources that players can gain on the map. Meanwhile, all players’ identities are anonymous until they use their abilities. The justice side needs to figure out who their enemies are and defend against them while conducting research.

Story

In this laboratory, researchers are studying the power of nature to heal the world. However, the laboratory has been invaded by imposters who want to halt the research. They have caused chaos and made a mess of the laboratory. Therefore, the researchers need to gather suitable materials and useful tools from the disarrayed laboratory and try to identify the imposters in order to finish their research.

Design style

With a style focused on creating chaos and evoking secret feelings, I have added some noise to the illustration background, and the shadows are not as clean, in order to present the desired game style. With the map since it is a huge lab, therefore, I use the bird view to draw out the map with one point perspective. There are five different type of spot that player will passed to get items, materials, teleport, finish research or walk away. Therefore, I use five different color and icon to enable user to more easy to define where the place is.
