The Odessa Tree is a third-person puzzle platformer set in an abandoned subterranean village, now reclaimed by nature. You play as the soul of the Odessa Tree and posses the bodies of three vessels: a robot, a mushroom, and a plant. Each vessel you posses has a distinct ability dependent on the manipulation of light. These three characters must rely on each other and their abilities in order to progress as one. Use light or darkness to your advantage and navigate through puzzles to uncover the history of this world and restore the soul of the Odessa Tree.
The Odessa Tree was developed by a team of 9 seniors from Drexel University, under the team name "Overscoped". Early concepts of Odessa began in July 2022, before officially starting development in September 2022. The game went through 9 months of development before its final release in June 2023.
