University Final Major Project Horror Concept inspired by Highgate Cemetery

At the moment, I am developing a horror game environment for my final major project at university, drawing inspiration from Highgate Cemetery, Victorian spiritualism, and classic British/American horror films like Hellraiser and The Exorcist. My tutor recently shared on Polycount that he visited Highgate Cemetery after looking at my environment concept, and I recommend checking it out if you're in London. I will continue to work on my environment and will keep you updated on my progress.

Neat theme and nice start also if I may suggest some sort of contextual hook for this concept, plus truth be told might come off a tad subjectively biased too... Well namely arachnids, specifically spiders I personally adore them. Where I live, we grow them pretty darn big and hairy (think scaled down Aragog from HP) and on top of all that probably among the most deadliest, like bite wise. Because tbh just at a glance, your dark gloomy tunnel practically screams oversized critter horror! thus feeding upon most peoples instinctive fear/aversion for our eight legged friends - merely my 2cents.

Yes, there are cave spiders in that area, and plenty of rare ones as well. They mentioned on the tour that these spiders can grow to impressive sizes because they never leave their habitat. I would love to have an animated spider, at least one, but I need to see if I can find the time to either model one myself or buy one that's already made.
