My first Unity game: Vaykant
polycounter lvl 11
This is still a WIP so its in previews not general
Vaykant is a game based in a Pripyat/Chernobyl hospital. You are a kid exploring with a video camera.
Its supposed to be a horror game but right now I only have the scene environment set up with the flashlight, so you're free to look around at the entire first floor which I finished about 30 minutes ago.
Here is a picture:
But pictures don't give the full effect. Please play and tell me how the heartbeat/breathing and overall sound effects play into the game and if the atmosphere fits, thats what im focused on right now!
Note: invisible walls keep you from getting lost at the start, just keep looking around
Download: removed to fix bugs, ill bump this thread asap

I know you're gone for five days, but I just played this, and damn. The first time I saw the girl scared me considerably.
I went into it thinking "Oh, there is a setting, but no scary things yet otherwise," so it made my first sighting of her that much more unexpected.
After that, it sort of became a game of hide and seek, where I'd try to find her. Then the fear was gone. But that first time made enough impact for me to keep playing. Not sure you're still working on this, but getting some good art into there could make this an underground hit like Slender, if you establish a clear goal for the player, and maybe make encounters with her less frequent. Maybe add some "Looking in the drawers for something" gameplay.
I enjoyed it.
Keep this up man!
yeah man, I can't finish this. Makes me jump like crazy. Like every corner, it's a bit much.
I concur with the above idea, if you can establish a clear goal and make encounters with her more random and less frequent, this could be a huge hit. Maybe invent your own urban myth much like Slender.
