inspiration
I wanted Lights Out to feel tense, unpredictable, and immersive, inspired by games like Mafia and Among Us where players constantly question who they can trust. Visually, the project takes inspiration from GTA and crime-based storytelling, using cinematic lighting, strong character design, and dramatic details to create a suspenseful atmosphere. I focused on making each role visually distinct while balancing gameplay clarity with immersive storytelling.

the process
The process started with quick sketches to explore character roles, silhouettes, and tone. Early drawings focused on making each role visually distinct and easy to recognize. These sketches were then refined to develop clearer details, stronger compositions, and a consistent visual system. Layout studies helped balance information and readability, ensuring the final cards support both gameplay and atmosphere.
