Final Project
A downloadable game for macOS
The character wakes up in a nightmare. They find themselves in a house, drowsy and confused. They need to get out by finding the flashlight and exiting through the front door. The second level, after they leave the house, the character finds himself in catacombs. The character will need to escape before their sanity runs low. After leaving the catacombs, the player realizes they are a zombie and they live under the graveyard. They are now set free to terrorize the town.

Main difficulties/Challenges:
- Technical:
- having to learn Unity from scratch
- initially, working in Unity simultaneously resulted in a lot of work overwritten and lost.
- Making the game "Scary"
- Sound Problems (sound goes through walls)
- Mac vs. PC
- Untechnical:
- Sticking to the milestones as the project progressed (we often found ourselves having to adjust them).
- Finding free assets to fit our needs
Future Improvements:
- The game could use jump scares, ex. falling book shelves, banging on walls, etc.
- The assets need to be edited and made so the user can interact with them.
- The game is too narrow. The creation of better assets above will allow for more adventures, more exploration and interaction.
