This solo indie dev spent 10 years making an RPG game that looks 3D… but is actually 2D.
- Camera shifts from orthographic to perspective views
- Depth is simulated using parallax & warped sprites
- Hand-painted semi-open world
Would you play this? It’s called Bridgebourn.

Turns out I've recorded 11 clips that are 15 seconds long, so here is one of them... okay, this player says 16, windows explorer rounded it to 15, close enough.
