SCREAM JAM 2024 gHost's Choice -
A game that bleeds atmosphere through the literal lens of its photography mechanic. Players explore a haunted bunker with a Polaroid camera in order to uncover the secrets of the family that lived within its concrete walls. The Polaroid shots reveal narrative elements through writing on the walls, and, paired with a ghost-hunting sensor, slowly reveal the grotesque faces of the ghosts. Although the tables turn on the player in the ending twist, there are no obvious scares but the inventive use of text to shape the environment into a history of sad stories of a lost generation.
Thank you for submitting Bunker 73 to SCREAM JAM 2024, and congratulations on being selected as one of the ten gHost's Choice entries for the jam!
