Crab Party!

A quirky point & click adventure game. With the arrival of a new empty shell you have to persuade hermit crabs of all sizes to come to the big changing of the shells party.

Crab Party! was my first big student project and what sparked my passion for game development. The project is still very dear to my heart. Sadly as with any good video game idea we bit off way more than we could chew and finished only the first of three story arcs.

You find yourself as the smallest hermit crab in Crab-City. When the biggest of the hermit crabs of the city finds a new shell, the Festival of Shell Exchange is to commence. But for the Crab Party to take place, there need to be representatives of all different sizes attending to exchange shells with each other. Unfortunately, not all the representatives want to attend the festival.

Story writing and prototyping was done in Twine. Crab Party! was implemented in Unity with the help of Fungus for managing branching dialogue.
