Overview
Single-player first-person horror. The player explores a house inherited from the 1800s, uncovering the building's history and the paranormal that comes with it.
My Role
Game designer. Owned the core loop and kept it compatible with the narrative beats, since the experience is built around narrative puzzle-solving rather than action.
- Core gameplay loop. Carries the story without interrupting it.
- Puzzle mechanics and the probability system underneath.
- Lighting and optimisation across the house.
- Level design, shaping stages around the narrative.
- Technical art and shaders for the visual language.
