• Inspired by Assassin’s Creed, Portal 2, Valorant, and The Last of Us, the game emphasizes player choice, exploration, and impactful storytelling.

• Developed using Unreal Engine 5.3.2, integrating advanced techniques like the Niagara Particle System and custom visual scripting.

Highlights:

• Level Design:

  • Created two polished levels with distinct designs and mechanics.

  • Utilized techniques like "illusion of choice" and "spatial communication" to guide players intuitively through environments.

• Core Mechanics:

  • Developed unique gameplay features, such as a symbiotic character that assists in puzzle-solving and combat.

  • Designed puzzles and challenges requiring environmental interaction, e.g., swinging ropes, pushing objects, and using the symbiote to navigate tight spaces.

• Visual and Technical Tools:

  • Used Blender for custom 3D models and PureRef for reference gathering.
    Incorporated lighting and object placement to provide visual cues for players.

• Game Duration: Approximately 45–60 minutes of gameplay.
