_Animus-4-Anima (A4A)_ is based off the song, “Flight of the Crows” by Jhariah. I thought it’d be fun to try and visualize the narrative in a game.

My take on the theme, “floating”, was floating thoughts, like an unsure decision someone would have to make. This is supposed to be happening while you accept or decline the offers others make, both in the player’s head, and Quo’s head (the character you play as), and be visualized in the ‘mental’ states. ‘Mental’ states show Quo’s thoughts.

Unfortunately, due to master-tier procrastination and phantom burnout, I was only able to finish about half of what I’d have liked to.

Also, please listen to the song and put the pieces together. It’ll make _so_ much more sense if you can do that _correctly_.
