Cvltivation is a first-person experience in which one assumes the role of a self-configuring organism designed by a strange techno-cult. Aberrational meldings of flesh and machine roam the corridors of a surreal citadel rising from the decay of a dead planet, and it is with these beings that the organism must contend, and upon them it must feed, if it would ever know the truth of its imposed existence.
Working out the appearance of a game is mostly trial and error in my experience. Drawing heavy influence from expressionist film and the magnificent Mike Mignola's shadow-drenched "Hellboy" illustrations. I'm slowly acquiring the ability to visualize reality in this style, which is a pretty neat mental phenomenon of which I was entirely ignorant.
