Hey guys, it's finally time for another update about Adlib. Today I'd like to share the story behind the game. For Adlib I wanted there to be a light story which helped motivate the puzzle elements and guide the artistic style for the game. Ultimately I decided on a magical/fantasy-based theme. Check out the line art for the storyboard!

So what’s the story about? Well two siblings are visiting their grandfather who lives somewhere remote. Grandpa’s asleep, though, so what are the kids to do? Obviously, it’s time to explore some of the nooks and crannies of the house, which is when they stumble upon their grandfather’s secret library! Needless to say there’s always a penalty for discovering someone’s secret, and in this case the children have found a magic spellbook and triggered a powerful spell!

I hope you enjoyed seeing more about Adlib and are getting excited to try it out this September. Check back soon for more updates!
