Expedition of the Forgotten

Will you conquer the storm, or will it conquer you?

Hello, Adventurers!

Welcome to Expedition of the Forgotten, an open-world action-adventure indie game crafted with passion and an unyielding commitment to quality. This isn’t just a game, I poured my soul into it and dedicated everything to bring it to life and make it succeed.

Built entirely in Unity within just 59 days for the Waves India Summit's Road to Game Jam. Despite limited resources and a tight budget, I gave my best to create something truly special, and I hope you feel that in every moment you play.

About the Game

Step into the boots of a fearless female protagonist tasked with escorting an important ancient artifact. But fate has other plans. As destiny unfolds, she finds herself on an unexpected adventure - one that will test her courage, skills, and resilience.

This game build currently features two core missions that perfectly align with the Game Jam theme 'Handle with Care'.

The Vision Ahead

Our ultimate dream for Expedition of the Forgotten is to transform it into a full-fledged open-world game for PC and consoles. Future development will expand the map, add more missions, and mechanics like a character-switching system between the female protagonist and her Indian archaeologist friend.

We aim to craft this game not just for Indian players but for a global audience. Set in a hypothetical city, it will provide a rich narrative centered around ancient Indian artifacts, highlighting India's rich heritage and offering a fresh perspective to players around the world.

Meet the Team

Lead Developer:  Surya Pratap Singh

As a young passionate developer without a background in game development, this is my first full-fledged game. My expertise lies in the arts, logic creation, graphic design, programming, and software development. From concept to coding, I built this game from the ground up.

Co-Developer:  Sparsh Saxena

The heartbeat of this project, contributing to the story, narration, and dialogues. Without Sparsh’s razor-sharp writing and nuanced portrayal of our female protagonist, she would never have risen from the pages. Women's power fuels this journey.
