Thing In The Dark

A short and basic horror game.

Find the key, find the door, mind the caretaker, get out!

I made all the things (models, music, textures.), except a few stairs, because they can be a bitch to model, and the enemy is made in Fuze (except the texture) because I'm lazy. Although rigging and animations is done by me.

Current build features a much more relentless enemy, I have no idea why.

He doesn't act like that in the engine, I dunno, might be cursed. Probably more bugs than I have found myself. I have been messing with this for too long now, might as well post it.

So just tell me what you think, I have no emotions so you can't hurt me.

Some Behind the Scenes stuff:

Music is made primarily by stretching drum samples, a really great way to create noisy spook sounds. Also alot of bitcrush and reverb on top.

Voice acting is done by me, and some layering and effects.

I was planning on having more assets in the game, but found the empty, liminal space aesthetic to be kind of unsettling. Or at least that is what I will tell my future employers.

Some assets came from a previous project that never saw the light of day.

"Thing in the Dark" took me an embarassingly long time to come up with, titles are hard.
