Abstract
Mindset is a 2.5D platformer video game developed in Unreal Engine. The player must navigate different levels and overcome various challenges on a quest to reach the end of the game. Each level of Mindset is made to represent a different emotion in the protagonist’s life such as contentment, anger, and sadness. Part of the core functionality of the game is this idea that there are two dimensions to every level, a foreground and a background. The challenges in each level incorporate the core mechanic of the game known as “plane shifting” in which the player swaps from foreground to background or vice versa. The challenges in each level revolve around this idea of plane shifting, and it is up to the player to figure out how to solve them.
