Terrainox - An Indie Psychological sci-fi Horror Game

Spyde3r

Hi! I have been working on a horror video game along with a friend. Starting out as a University project, we are trying to fully realize it into a downloadable experience, therefore we would seriously appreciate any critique that we can get! We are also trying for the Rookies this year!

Synopsis: 
A psychological horror game set in a sci-fi diesel punk near-future. You play as a military investigator & vehicle operator, sent on a 2-man reconnaissance mission out to investigate a missing tank crew in danger territory. Be careful, you are in a storm, and something is lurking out there... something far worse than any enemy imaginable...

You can watch a Teaser Trailer we put together here:

Thank you for reading this!

This looks amazing so far! Have you thought about adding a flashlight or torch as a game mechanic? This can add significant tension and heighten the horror component.

Spyde3r

We have considered adding a flashlight, and if we are ever to make a fully fledged version by god's grace, we definitely would. But for the demo/teaser, I decided that having full control over environmental lighting, having scenes where we put the player in a full blackout for a few seconds would have helped the psychological horror aspect. I might have been wrong in retrospective and should have thought about incorporating a flashlight sooner. I will see if I can add a flashlight organically without ruining any scripted sequences previously added.

You could also have the flashlight be affected by the electric surge, with the player trying to tap/shake it back into life, causing brief flashes of light. Could be very effective, seeing a creature in brief strobes as it gets closer and closer…
