Marmortal: FHAESIR’S PRIDE

Embark on a mission to retrieve a foul wish!
Use your trusted bow against the marble gargoyles, and parkour your way up a celestial tower.


Marmortal is a single player first person shooter with platforming elements to challenge player movement. The game was developed in Aalto University.

Fhaesir’s Pride is a 3D movement shooter game with a narrative framework. I had the initial idea in December 2020, pitched it in Aalto University and the game went to production in 2021. I lead a team of 10 developers.

My roles: Game direction, Game Design Lead, UX & UI design, 2D art, Narrative

In Marmortal: Fhaesir’s Pride you have made a wish to a powerful entity – yet the wish brought forth dire consequences. As a last resort you embark up towards the sacred tower where wishes are granted to try and undo yours.

Dynamically shoot and rush your way through the tower’s perilous paths as it accepts no mortals in its premises. The tower slowly turns you into stone – and attempts to cleanse itself from your influence by sending hordes of gargoyles after you.

Awards:
Marmortal: Fhaesir’s Pride won the 2nd place in Bit1 game awards in 2021.

“Marmortal: Fhaesir’s Pride” is an early prototype, released in 2022.
A new game set in Marmortal’s world is under development in Unreal Engine 5.
