A downloadable game



This is the prototype I made for the Level Design class in my Bachelor's (2020). 

You find yourself in a room you don't recognise, and you can't remember who you are, or what you are doing in here. But, something is there to remember, some memories stuck in the room with you. 

Can you find your way outside? 

I wanted to before everything else portray the mood of the time gone, emotions that remain in the everyday things that became the artifacts of the lost past of a person who does not know who they are, where they are, and what they are supposed to do. 

The puzzles are a bit too convoluted. I wanted to work further on this project but my Unreal file got deleted and this exe was the only thing I have left of it :,)

But if you do have some spare time and patience and solve them, do tell me what you think of the ending of the demo!

This game is ahead of it's time.

I tried to play it and really struggled for a while, but at some point everything clicked and everything made sense.

Looks great, works great, and says what it says unapologetically.

Truly a work of art.
