REINCARNATION

Introduction

The game is a single-player 3D horror maze game made using the Unreal Engine.

In the game, you will enter the vision of a man who accidentally killed his entire family by accidentally eating a poisonous mushroom. Under the influence of the mushroom's toxin, the world is distorted in your eyes, so your familiar home and family appear to you in a fragmented and bizarrely horrific state.

Overcome your fears and look for clues to escape the home that is both familiar and strange to you.

Inspiration - Development - Purpose

Inspired by the infinite stream genre, we have designed a game rule with no blood bar and no countdown timer, where the player will not be injured or die when hitting a trap, but will return to the original point. This gives the player more opportunities to explore the map carefully and coherently. The aim is to give the player more freedom and immersion.

We have found in our lives that people out of curiosity tend to have some subconscious reactions to changes in environmental details. Therefore, we take advantage of the player's curiosity by providing scares or clues through sound or screen details. Players who are too curious will get bigger scares, and those who are not curious enough will miss valid clues, making it difficult to pass the level. In this way, players tend to have different experiences and discoveries each time they repeatedly pass through the same section. The aim is to enhance the excitement and explorability of the game.

Foresight

Due to time constraints, although we used our own designed UI and LOGO, and independently planned the game map and organs, etc.. However, NPCs' items and backgrounds used open-source art materials. 

If we had more time in the future, we would like to create more original art materials. In addition, we would like to design more interesting traps and more different types of NPCs and make a richer and more varied map.
