Project Overview

Engine: Unity

Programming: C#

A single-player Horror Puzzle Game in Which the player must traverse an old mansion. The owner has called you and left as he suspects that it is haunted or possessed by something? You must solve puzzles and figure out what's happening to the place. You have just yourself and a torch to help you.

The project is a 3D realistic Horror game built in Unity and uses the basic player movement. The game is built in unity and uses URP (Universal Render Pipeline) for more detailed and realistic graphics. Within the game, the player has a very minimalistic HUD with only prompts of interactions of objects to really keep the player immersed in the game. The player has a lot of freedom in the game and can take their time to solve and explore the mansion.

Project Challenges

- Making the game seem immersive and real. I really had to take time on partial effects for weather and post-processing for the level to find a nice balance for the map that I felt made the level and atmosphere Right.

- Making the puzzle easy and simple to follow with little or no help. This took a lot of time changing things or trying different puzzles to see what felt right as I wanted the player to always keep moving and exploring.

- Made sure the player encountered the jumpscares I wanted. I made sure to incorporate the puzzle with main jumpscares so they would experience the ones I wanted.
