Return to the Island

This project was created in Unity as part of the Edinburgh College Game Development HND course. The brief was to create a 3D first person puzzle/platformer adaptation of  the popular monkey island series games.

The player is stranded on a tropical island inhabited by a magical rock hippo statue named Darnell. The player must feed Darnell 8 gems in order to earn the boathouse key so they can escape.

Gems are hidden at dig sites, the player must find the map to reveal the dig sites and find the spade to dig up the gems. Once all 8 gems have been collected the player can trade them for the key, unlock the boathouse and escape the island.
