A downloadable game

Claudia Adventure is an undersea adventure game for the NES. This demo was created for the NESmaker 2020 Byte-Off Competition.



>STORY

Meet Fiona, a mermaid who, after a mysterious calamity at the Grand Water Palace, must journey to reunite with her family. Has she always been a mermaid, and is her name truly Fiona? Why does she feel drawn to the old human statues throughout the undersea kingdom? Statues engraved with a single word... "Claudia".


>BACKGROUND

Claudia, my four-year-old, conceived the idea and is in charge of most enemy  and area concepts and names, and has been the primary playtester and sounding board. 

This demo is a work in progress and may change significantly as development progresses.

I'm curious if you're still working on this. The concept seems pretty interesting.

I haven't, but I've thought about it. I'd like to come back through and punch up the graphics a bit and rethink the music, and expand the map.

Nice concept for a Metroidania/adventure game. Reminds me of stuff like Aquaria from circa 2007. Check that out if you haven't yet.

I will, I haven't seen it. Thanks!
