etea

a video game where you're an alien bobarista pretending to be human.

unity game-dev c#

wishlist on steam ;)

ETea is a video game about an alien named glorbo who crash-landed on earth and now has to survive by working undercover… as a bobarista.

i’ve been developing this with my friends for a while now, and honestly, it means a lot. beneath the goofy premise, we’re exploring themes of identity, belonging, and hiding parts of yourself to fit in, all throughstealthy alien antics. (psst. we’re secretly working on a spin-off game to ship something sooner than etea. but that’s a secret)

i worked on:

  • gameplay programming (unity + c#)
  • UI design + pixel art (figma, aseprite)
  • trailers and visual polish (after effects!)

we showcased ETea at BURST ✷, an art gallery-style exhibition at purdue featuring student-made technical/creative projects. we built a special demo version with controller support. getting to see people play and react to our game (and give us feedback) was genuinely the best part.
