How does your game fit the theme?
"Far from the light" is a horror 3d game, and you'll find out the rest for yourself... when you pass...

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Most of the scripts are mine, some are from unity assets, some are from older projects,
but you can check them out for yourself because it's an open source project:

The game has a vibe of a "prototype", rather than a complete game, but I guess it's still fun to those, who enjoy atmospheric horrors. It felt like P.T. in some parts of it, especially in coridor, but that's only my perspective, I believe.

It'll look even better after you get some time to finish and polish it. But for now, great job on the progress! 

Developer

Thanks for the comment! In the future I am going to finalize the game completely, the rest can be found in my devlog (you can find it on the project page), by the way, a small update will be released in the near future!

I shat my pants on the jumpscare

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the comment! I thought jumpscares weren't very scary.

i'm not really a fan of this kind of jumpescares, but i can't deny you got me xd. I had the volume really loud... The movement and interactions feels nice (although you can interact with everything from really far).  Aesthetically looks cool with bloom and all. Good job

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I'm not a fan of jump scares either, which is why they look so weird in the game, plus this is my first horror game that I've published

I used the WebGL version. 

The light was great, this torch light was very good looking.

It was kind of easy to understand how to navigate and open doors ( which is not always the case )

But somehow, when I clicked on the bed to sleep, I heard strange noises, black screen and, could never go back to the " normal view " 


Good looking prototype, but probably best downloading the game rather than WebGL.

Thank you for your comment! When developing the game I used different lighting and when using the bed the text "press space" should have been visible, but due to some bug in the UI the text unfortunately disappeared behind the panel. I will try to fix this error in the near future. If you want to know when I fixed this bug, please let me know.

Although the project looks rather raw(three days is certainly a small time frame), but it definitely has an atmosphere. Screamers at first scare you with loud sound, and then you just amuse yourself with these inserted pictures)

Developer

Thank you very much for your comment!

Decent game with potential if you decide to dvelop it further. I like the graphics, but the blur and bloom effects are sometimes a bit much.

Developer

Thanks for the comment! I can advise you to reduce the graphics settings, this will help reduce blur

I really like graphics part of your project and the fact that you game is polished enough to be enjoyable to play

Developer

Thanks for the comment! In the future I am going to finalize it completely, the rest can be found in my devlog (you can find it on the project page)

Decent game but, the motion blur and bloom effects are pretty intense. Good luck with your future projects.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the comment! I don’t know what the blur effect is connected with, but I didn’t add it to the game on purpose, perhaps it has something to do with the frame rendering time. If it doesn't suit you, you can lower the graphics in the settings

Quite loud but thrilling loved it! Could use some ambience sounds otherwise good.

Thanks for your comment, I'm going to add sounds and more in future versions of the game
