THE ANCIENT MARINER

PRODUCER

The Ancient Mariner was a narrative action adventure with a focus on open-world exploration. Although the game was never completed, it was known that its gameplay would be driven by human emotions and underpinned by a deep systemic emotional system and an artistic style laden with symbolism. Its name, evoking the famous poem ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,’ suggested a spiritual or thematic connection to the studio's acclaimed game, Rime, delving into themes such as loss, memory, and redemption.
