Pliant (2025)

Pliant is a 2.5D isometric adventure game that explores the effects of burnout in the workspace. Our team decided to express this through Terry, an anthropomorphic post-it, and his first day at a new job.

Terry must navigate through an unfamiliar environment and overcome various obstacles to get through his first day at the office. As Terry, the player can transform into either a frog or a bulldozer (both with their own unique set of abilities). However, transformations come at a price so don't wear yourself too thin. Balance your abilities as you journey through a 90s inspired office desk on Terry's quest to return home. 

The game was recognized and awarded by Unity as a Featured Project in their 2023 Student Showcase.
