The Concept

Sense is a linear 2D puzzle platformer where players navigate through a series of levels to unlock the 3 enhanced senses - Smell, Sight and Hearing.

The mechanic for each sense is tailored to be almost identical to how each sense would function in reality. For instance, enhanced sense of Smell reveals scent trails that can lead players to hidden rooms in the levels.
