I wake up on the day of the competition and find out the theme is Minimalism. A bit hard, considering I had thought I’d be doing a heavily dialogue driven, photography based, adventure game.

After some contemplation, I’ve decided to honor the great, late, comrade film director Andrei Tarkovsky and his greatest minimalist film: Stalker.

Based on the book Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers.

So in line with Tarkovsky’s style there will be:

• Black and white (with a touch of color)
• Panoramic landscape pictures
• Slow camera movement on only one axis
• Super natural elements
• Post apocalysm
