The Raven Princess

Inspired by the theme of superstition, this original storybook explores the consequences of belief and desire. The tale follows a royal couple who, desperate to have a child, turn to an old village superstition: drinking raven’s blood to conceive. Their wish comes true—but eighteen years later, the forgotten price of that miracle unfolds. With a blend of eerie beauty and emotional depth, The Raven Princess invites readers into a world where belief becomes fate, and every choice echoes deeply.

Lost Parents: A Girl’s Journey

This interactive narrative features a young girl who becomes separated from her parents in an amusement park. As she moves through the park searching for her parents, her emotions gradually change, subtly shifting with each scene. The journey unfolds across four symbolic areas: a carousel, a Ferris wheel, a parade, and whimsical park buildings. Each scene features subtle visual interactions: doors that open, rides that move, and parade performers who beat their drums, drawing the viewer into a vivid, animated world. The passing of time and emotional transitions are reflected in the evolving atmosphere of each background, culminating in a tearful but touching reunion at the journey’s end.
