Gone in the Morning

For my last Design Week at Sheridan, I took part in creating a horror-themed game that captured the emotion of being scared. As someone who isn't invested in horror media in general, it was a fun challenge to go outside of my area of expertise.

​

Horror games place a heavy reliance on atmosphere, alongside good sound design to make an engaging experience. I spent time thinking about how gameplay elements could work as complimentary components to add to the framework of the atmosphere.

​

The varied tasks are used to bring the player around the map layout, allowing them to focus more on the sounds and unsettling rooms. I also gained experience adapting the build to work in a WebGL format. The lighting tools would not work within the web format, and are only in the download. To avoid issues, they were disabled within the Unity Editor.
