The Shattered logo leans on horror tropes to create feelings of tension and unease. The tall shapes are split into fragments, with each letter bending and distorting as it reaches the cracks. Grunge mixes with a scan line texture and slight chromatic aberration to hint at the mixing of worlds in the game’s narrative.

I created the visual identity for both the Greyvale Facility and its shady owners, the Wakefield Corporation. These logos were designed to mimic real life authoritarian corporations, and to be flexible enough to appear in the 3D environments as well as on letters, brochures and posters scattered in-game.

The W.A.K.E Device is a terrifying hallucination inducing machine used in shady trials in the bowels of Greyvale. When encountering this machine, players must read through a bunch of scattered documentation to understand how to shut the device down and save the poor patient suffering within it. I designed the pages to be a cryptic but satisfying discovery once the code had been cracked.

Various pieces of evidence discovered throughout the game help to fill in missing details about the world and aid players in solving puzzles and progressing through the levels. In total, I created over 100 notes, papers and paraphernalia that make up the bulk of the collectibles in the game.

Several books can be found in specific levels of the game, leading to puzzle solutions and deeper insight into the game’s world. These textures were mapped onto book models that could then be opened and flipped through by players. I focused on designing believable, realistic layouts to aid in narrative and immersion.
