Pick up, store, and use the things you find. The inventory ties directly into the puzzle layer — every item is potentially the key to the next door.
Combine items into something stronger. Crafting rewards exploration — the recipes themselves are scattered through the level, so progress and discovery feed each other.
A UI management layer that orchestrates every screen in the game, plus the menus and scene transitions that hold the experience together. The framework had to be small enough to ship in a week and clean enough to not embarrass me later.
Bloom, color grading, and ambient occlusion through Unity's Post-Processing Stack to push the atmosphere closer to where it needed to be — closer to dread, further from default.
Designed and animated the player character. Tuned the controller and the surrounding physics so movement reads as responsive but afraid — a small detail that flavors the entire game.
