Hi everyone,
I have a fully detailed, unique survival horror game concept designed for an upcoming Game Jam. I am looking to team up with a Programmer and a 3D/2D Artist to bring this vision to life.
Game Overview & Plot:
The game is a first-person survival horror (inspired by mechanics like Granny). The story follows a delivery courier (working for a major e-commerce company) who, due to a system glitch, gets sent to deliver a package to an abandoned house deep inside a dark forest.
Unbeknownst to the courier, the house is occupied by a former warehouse worker who turned to satanic worship after losing his family. The cultist is possessed by a demon that feeds on animal souls, but a human soul is the ultimate prize.
Unique Gameplay Mechanics & Twists:
The 3-Day Punishment (Gore & Impact): The player has 3 days to escape by solving environmental puzzles. Each time the possessed cultist catches the player, a limb is brutally severed. This directly impacts the gameplay (e.g., losing a hand slows down puzzle-solving, losing a leg makes movement slow and loud).
The Humanity Twist: There is a dynamic mechanic where the cultist’s suppressed human side fights back, refusing to harm the player. This grants the player an extra chance/day and completely alters the game's outcome.
4 Multiple Endings: Depending on the player's success and whether the "Humanity Twist" is triggered, the game features four distinct endings—ranging from a brutal shotgun defeat to a dark, heroic ending where the cultist takes his own life to weaken the demon, extinguishing the satanic fires.
What I am looking for:
Programmer: Experience with Unity, Unreal, or Godot (capable of handling basic AI pathfinding, inventory, and puzzles).
Artist: To handle the eerie environment, a creepy 3D model/2D art for the cultist, and gore effects.
I have the entire script, puzzle logic, and mechanical design ready on paper. This project is purely a passion collaboration for the jam, and full credits will be given to everyone involved.
