Pig & Chikin

Pig & Chikin is a 3D story-driven platformer about loss, companionship, perseverance, and acceptance. 

In a world where pigs have wings, Pig loses her wings in an accident and desperately wants them back. Her dear friend, Chikin, hops on her back and acts as her wings as they go on a journey to learn how to fly again. The player character's core movement abilities get weaker as the game progresses, acting as a metaphor for aging and disability.

Directed by Quentin Burley for his USC Games MFA Thesis Project, the game's full release is scheduled for Fall 2024.
