You never know what secrets may be hiding in the woods...

Play as Ernest, a young, quiet boy as he breaks the bounds of his school camp to reveal the mystery hiding just beyond the forest.

Ernest & Alexander is a narrative-driven, exploration, puzzle game, stylised in a 2.5D pixel art style.

I was inspired to create this game as a way to further develop and explore another ongoing, personal project of mine which I’ve been passionate about since my teenage years.

It is suitable for all ages between 8-108, for anyone who enjoys a good lighthearted mystery.

I developed this game in collaboration with Millie Thompson. My main role was in the environment design, the creation of pixel assets and characters, as well as being the narrative lead. I also helped in concepting UI and mechanic designs for certain minigames.
