Abort: The Exile
Design Lead, Quest DesignerA 3D horror adventure where family secrets and silenced spirits resurface through the shadows of Chinese folklore and and patriarchal tradition.
A young boy raised in a patriarchal household was unaware of his family’s darker past. When he falls into a realm haunted by vengeful spirits and demons, he must confront both the terrors before him and the hidden legacy of domestic gendered violence.
Players wield the mystical camera to expose haunted artifacts, while relying on stealth to navigate a forsaken mansion swarming with ghosts. When cornered, a cursed diary invites spirit possession, granting fleeting safety at unknown costs. Blending environmental puzzles, non-combat stealth, and nerve-wracking QTEs, the design twists folklore and family trauma into an unsettling journey that echoes the silenced struggles of women and the erased lives of unborn daughters in early 2000s China.
Abort: The Exile earned international recognition as a 2024 Silver Winner at the MUSE Creative Awards for its innovative cross-platform marketing and narrative-driven promotion. That same year, Dual-X Studio received a Silver Award for Redefining Gaming Narratives for Women, a digital manifesto highlighting the team’s mission of inclusivity and innovation in game storytelling.
