Moscow Hotel - The Queen's Gambit Chess.
This environment was heavily inspired by the 1968 Moscow Invitational Chess Tournament set.
This level was a joy to work on and allowed us to push the lighting and use of colour as far as we could with an extremely limited colour pallet. It's a running theme across all the environments that we use cooler tones on the white side of the board, and warmer tones on the black side. We could really accentuate this in this environment.
