NYCTOPHOBIA

Nyctophobi

Nyctophobia is a first person 3D horror game developed in the Unity engine. This game was a solo project for the Game Design 251 module and developed entirely in 4 weeks.

Nyctophobia was a test in seeing if a tense, horror game can be crafted using a very simple concept and level design by focusing entirely on the sound and ambiance, all within 4 weeks. This game was inspired mainly from PS4's PT, the old school Resident Evil games and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

The following work was done on the game:

Coded the entire game in C# using Unity
Either sourced (from Digipen's sound library and freesound.org), created and/or edited all the sound effects and music in the game
Modeled all the art assets found in the game (except the skybox)
Hosted playtesting sessions and quickly made iterations based on the feedback received
