University of Southern California, CTIN 290 (Digital Media Workshop) final project submission. Spring 2022 semester.

Visions of his close friend, Angelo, dead, and the rest of his hometown destroyed haunt Milan in his new life. In the bar stationed east of Eden, where the survivors retreated, curious adventurers nag Milan into telling them stories. He decides to tell those of his childhood, trying to fight off the envy he felt so long ago.

Content Warnings: Blood, death, violence, jumpscares.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PLAYING: Please set your Graphics to Maximum. If the title screen doesn’t seem to let you move your mouse, try jumping (spacebar) first. There are some unexpected glitches in the game that I have been unable to fix as of 9 May 2022, but the game functions fine otherwise. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE GAME AGAIN, YOU NEED TO EXIT THE GAME.

----------

Execution: I created a linear, first-person, exploration-based game with minimum “combat” in the form of destroying objects (which is optional). Although the game is first-person, it can support two players except for the ending scene. Throughout the game, the player is followed around by a ghost that disappears and reappears in random intervals, affecting the experience in a visual and audible way (i.e. unintentional appearance and SFX jumpscares).

Inspirations: The execution of this work was mainly inspired by Blendo Games’s Gravity Bone, Thirty Flights of Loving, and Quadrilateral Cowboy.
