SEa Ops

Concept project for stealth-action video game.

In the ocean off the coast of Tasmania, the European Green Crab invasion has run rampant. The natural life of the area is depleting every day from this brutal colonization. The region’s best soldier, The Draug From Down Under, is sent in to kill the Crustacean Commander Storklo to turn the tide of the war before the invasion spreads.
