What is GAZE?
GAZE was my DePaul University Capstone where you can use celestial powers to move objects in the world to bring back the great animal constellations. Orion, the famed hunter, sought to fracture the stars of all the animal constellations in the world. However, Vulpecula, the elusive fox constellation was able to escape his wrath and take shelter in the sanctuary of the stars, Artemis' observatory. As this fox, use your celestial powers to restore your fellow animal constellations to their former glory.
