Wraith

Horror game created for the GGJ 2021 (theme: Lost and Found),

The Wraith challenge was find your friends and escape the wraith. 

About

Project created as part of the Global Game Jam 2021 with three other final year students.

The theme was "lost and found". Inspired by recent games we played, we settled on creating a horror game.

The game is styled to look like "found footage", recorded from the perspective of the player. The aim is to find as many of your lost friends before the Wraith gets to them. If she does, she will kill them. 

While it was intended there would be multiple endings and puzzles to achieve them, due to time constraints the team managed to construct a game with a few puzzles and two endings:

• Find the key and escape 
• Kill Wraith

At the end of the game you are scored based on how many friends you helped escape.

In the original version presented in the Global Game Jam, the AI's navigation was completely broken but we didn't notice. This has since been fixed with a few quality of life changes to the map.

Puzzles

Inspired by Team Psykskallar's Cry of Fear, the main puzzle involves finding VHS tapes to insert into certain TVs. These TVs will then reveal a code that can be used to open a locked door.

Two doors are password locked with a code found from the VHS tapes.

Again inspired by Cry of Fear, the concept of having subtitles pop up would show the player's inner thoughts, which can be used to provide the player with hints and objectives.
