Items & inventory

You can pick up, store, and use the things you find. The inventory ties directly into the puzzle layer. You can craft the items to unlock new tools and potentially a key to the escape.

Crafting

I designed and implemented the crafting system of the game in 2 days. Used Unity's Scriptable Object to create recipes that can be easily added and modified in the editor.

Player & Art

Designed and animated the player character. Tuned the controller and the surrounding physics so movement reads as responsive but afraid. Bloom, color grading, and ambient occlusion through Unity's Post-Processing Stack to push the atmosphere closer to the horror ambience that we wanted.
