Untranslated is a first person puzzle game with a focus on cooperation and understanding of mannerisms.
You play as Jackson, a boots on the ground trooper separated from the rest of his unit during a drop from orbit; stranded on a strange alien planet they come across what humans have dubbed a “Vindicator.”, a member of the alien race humanity has been at war with. Apprehensive at first, the two come to some form of understanding and so work together to try and find a means of returning to their own distant worlds.

Project Involvement:
​
Untranslated is my most recent project, and the idea came from my love for video game companionship. I've always found it really interesting how a game can make you care for a bunch of 1s and 0s pretending to be an individual so this project came from me thinking "how would a game make you care about someone you don't understand?"
