The development of Ada began before I joined the project. The game already had a dreamlike atmosphere and defined gameplay characteristics. My task was to create the narrative layer, from the lore and characters to individual dialogues.
I had to work within established parameters: a combat-focused game where quests should "not interfere" with gameplay but still be engaging enough to encourage further exploration. We also wanted the main storyline to be intimate — the protagonist isn't aiming to save the world but is fighting for her family's safety. I crafted a story where her goals are just one strand woven into the eternal battle between good and evil.
While adhering to the serious themes and the world's melancholic vibe, I felt it was the perfect setting for delivering absurd, dark humor and numerous easter eggs — both in text and environmental elements.
I worked in both Polish and English, handled the implementation of the narrative in the Unity engine, and, when needed, tested the entire production.
