L'Île Archéo
L'Île Archéo is a student-driven game developed by NAD UQAC students, blending ecology, archaeology, and existential themes. Players step into the shoes of Titi, a young archaeologist on his first field internship on the enigmatic Archéo Island—a hidden haven of a vanished human civilization. The game’s painterly, picture-book aesthetic brings the island’s mysterious ruins to life, inviting exploration through a 3D isometric view. Titi collaborates with a team: a field supervisor, a powerful corvid named Corbac, and Poulpa, an eight-armed tech expert. Together, they navigate challenges, using tools to excavate, clean, and restore artifacts. Each object holds clues about the lost culture, urging players to piece together its story. Recognized with the Bourse de rayonnement Illogika 2023-2024 and the Technical Excellence Award at CHI PLAY 2023, the game merges creativity with innovation. Its focus on environmental and historical themes offers a unique.
