Launch Trailer
Story:
The game is based on the working clown gradually losing his sanity working a haunted house shift during Halloween, resulting in a murder. However, when he was deemed not guilty and released from prison, he completely lost his memories. One day, when destiny seemed to be playing tricks, he wandered into the old haunted house where he used to work at, and suddenly, his memories came flooding back.
Concept Arts
Obstacles:
When we decided to create a horror puzzle-solving game, we wanted to make it unique, albeit still comfortable/easy for the players. After iterations of brainstorming, the idea of using 2D hand-drawn assets in Unity 3D became the answer for us. However, this was a territory none of us had encountered, so the designers (another student and I) and developers had to learn from scratch. Nonetheless, we understood the risk and took that leap of faith, knowing that the players would enjoy our aesthetics and we, as designers/developers, would benefit from this experience. On the side, it presents how our concept art became actual products.
