To Be Human

To Be Human is a narrative-driven 3D puzzle-platformer game developed as an academic project for the Game Design and Animation course within the Bachelor’s Degree Information Engineering for Videogames and Virtual Reality.

To Be Human explores the philosophical concept of humanity through the lens of Raphael's masterpiece, The School of Athens.

You play as Raphael himself, trapped in a metaphysical purgatory known as the "Artist's Graveyard." Stripped of your physical traits and individuality, you must navigate this decaying, surreal environment to rediscover your art and reclaim your human essence.

In To Be Human, narrative and mechanics evolve together. Reclaim your lost body parts from the philosophers' spirits to unlock vital traversal abilities:

• Arms (Gravity): Manipulate custom gravity points to cross environmental hazards.
• Legs (Verticality): Unlock precision jumping to scale vertical platforms.
• Face (Illumination): Restore your vision to pierce through the metaphysical darkness.
