Context
Exode is the very first game project I made in 2015 to enter GameSup. Feeling very attached to this project, I couldn't stop myself from continuing it and reworking it as my knowledge of Game and Narrative Design improved.

as a Game Designer

Here is the document, put in English and with updated schemas:
From this document, I then made a Game Design Overview slideshow, explaining in a more illustrated way the gameplay of Exode:
