For Traum

Created by Traum Studios

Role: Mechanics Programmer

For Traum is a fast-paced 2.5D silhouette-style platformer that examines morality in the context of policing in the dystopian city of Traum - the planet’s last city - in which players are tasked with quelling an active rebellion by any means necessary to ensure the survival of the human race. The player plays as Silica, an advanced, synthetic lifeform that looks anatomically identical to a biological human being. As she ventures through Traum, Silica begins to question the morality of the very organization she was created to serve: a peacekeeping organization called the Coordinators. She is equipped with advanced weaponry. Her palette of tools includes a burst pistol (a pistol that shoots 3 bullets each time the trigger is pulled), her dual gauntlet blades, and a stupidly big anti-material rifle. Her objective in the beginning of the game is to quell insurgent uprisings. However, that drastically changes when Commander Hertz, the commander of her division, stages a failed coup and she is assigned to hunt him down.
