About the game
The Project Glair Witch is a horror / exploration game set in a vast forest. The player must hunt to survive an entire night. A tower in the middle of the woods is accessible, enabling the player to take better aim at the birds flying over the trees, but the hunter only has one arrow at his disposal… If he hits or misses his target, he’ll have to venture out to retrieve it ! Who knows what lurks in the woods after dark…
The game is available for free.
Control : ZQSD to move around | Left mouse button to shoot | E to interact | Shift to sprint | R to activate cinematic mode.
Context
This game was created at the Objectif 3D school for a 48-hour game jam in November 2023. The theme was “You only get one”. I was mainly in charge of coding part of the game’s functionalities using the Blueprint code integrated on the Unreal Engine 5 game engine, as well as sound and menu integration. The game was created in collaboration with two other game designers.
Many of us in the group wanted to create a horror game together, and this game jam was the perfect opportunity ! The chosen graphic style enabled our environment artists to create several 3D assets quickly, while we worked on the rest.
