ĀTMAN

PC | Unreal Engine 5 | In Development (2027)

Developer, Level Designer & Narrative Designer

OVERVIEW

Ātman is an immersive, narrative driven exploration game centred on inner discovery, memory, and the search for truth.

When a young girl awakens in a strange, otherworldly realm, her attempt to return home gradually unfolds into a deeper journey of self recognition. Players traverse symbolic environments, solve spatial puzzles, and engage with mechanics that translate emotional states into gameplay.

Built entirely in Unreal Engine 5.

"Destiny often appears veiled and uncertain..

...but the path will always be shown to those who seek."
