Croaktopia

A survival game where you take on the role of a frog living in a small village. The plot revolves around a conflict in a small village that a large construction company wants to destroy with the consent of the mayor, who has entered into a corrupt conspiracy with the management of Liams Inc. The player will create a community that will oppose the developers by coordinating and organising the various inhabitants of the forest area, and entering into direct conflicts with local gangs and the police. The game has several systems of interaction, such as a combat system, crop cultivation, construction and numerous RPG elements. The combat system is implemented mainly through bladed weapons, melee, poison and blood flow. The game is made in a pixelated, cosy style that opens up during the day, but at night the world around becomes darker and there are splashes of horror aesthetics at night.

Mykyta Filonenko. In 2016, he graduated from the Kharkiv Academy of Design and Arts with a bachelor's degree in Monumental Painting. He started creating games in 2017. The main focus of his work is horror and survival games. The first game Vasilis was released in 2017, allegorically immersing the player in the events of the 2014 Maidan and the subsequent political process. The latest project, Bedrotting, tells the story of a depressed girl who can't get out of bed for 20 days and focuses on her relationship with her mother and her life in a small mountain town in the middle of the forest.
