Go on all fours and discover winding tunnels as a ferocious mole. Crawl your way to the top of a bloodlusty empire while keeping your true intentions secret...
For this project I designed a fictional society that felt grounded, designed a monument for them and built a game concept around it.
The monument for this spartan-like mole society is used for indoctrinating the younglings when joining the elite army unit. The monument is vested in a large echoing hall with seats for the entire tribe, who hype the young mole up by chanting and making rhythmic vibrations.
Since moles depend heavily on their sense of touch I included a tactile element into the design: a beam of sunlight shines through a hole of the intricate tunnel system and warms the engraved pedestal in the center of the monument.
The engravings of warriors and arches in the design are typical for warrior societies to honor the legacies of past warriors.
