This Game Jam was hosted at Cologne Game Lab and sponsored by WDR3, a radio station. The winning team’s project would be sponsored by WDR3 to be made into a full-fledged game for the Beethoven year 2020. Here’s an article by WDR3 covering the event.
Thus, our team decided on creating a detailed concept for a game instead of a tiny vertical slice prototype.
The result was Von Elise, which unfortunately “only” made it to 3rd place.

Von Elise is a narrative detective game about the mysterious vanishing of old and ill composer, Ludwig van Beethoven. With only a few initial hints provided by his acquaintance called Elise, an investigator visits historic locations the artist frequented, and learns about Beethoven’s life.
° Historic, educational setting
° Interactive narrative
° Information about the great musician gamified with a unique story
