Ljraat is a visual novel about a shapeshifting creature leading a crew of explorers from a water-less earth to the ice caps of Mars-like dust planet. Based on Inuit folklore and early arctic naval explorations, the story revolves around survival in a harsh landscape and the legends that take form. Please enjoy some selections of concept art for this project in development and consider the minimalist palette and design inspired by Moebius, Ennio Morricone's westerns, and 8-bit video games.
