Back Then - Level Design Blockout
ROLE
Game Designer

DESCRIPTION
This project was created as part of the Level Design for Games course by CGMA, taught by Shane Canning.
Shane’s feedback and support throughout the course were incredibly helpful and really pushed me to think deeper about how to guide players and shape a meaningful space.
Back Then is a short, story-driven level where you play as Chip, a childhood robot who powers on after Yazan leaves for his first day at university.
The Level Set in a cozy student apartment inspired by Toy Story and Animal Crossing, Chip explores objects Yazan brought from his old room, trophies, books, and personal items, each tied to a memory.
Your goal is to find 6 puzzle pieces hidden across the apartment, complete a photo of you and Yazan, and leave it where he’ll see it when he returns, a quiet reminder of your bond.
