This escape room prototype explores psychological horror through real-time interaction, environmental narrative, and subtle unease. By designing the space around triggers, puzzles, and shifting lighting states, the level heightens suspense without relying on jump scares.

Horror games often lean heavily on scripted scares. This project investigates how environmental tension, subtle sound cues, and real-time reactions can create sustained fear through design alone.

Blueprint-driven puzzles (door locks, object rotation, light-switching)

Dynamic lighting shifts based on player movement

Ambient sound zones and hidden triggers for escalating tension

Minimal UI for deeper immersion

An eerie, slow-burn horror experience emphasizing spatial unease, memory, and interactive discomfort—built to explore how players psychologically react to unknown variables.

This experiment connects Unreal’s audio engine with its material and shader systems. Sounds aren’t just heard, they reshape the visual world.

Map pitch, frequency, or amplitude to visual elements

Use sound as a gameplay mechanic, not just background

Enable environmental storytelling through reactive design    

Audio-reactive shaders using Dynamic Material Instances

Parameter-driven visuals modulated by pitch curves

Shader blending based on sound amplitude

A system that reimagines how game environments can “listen.” It transforms passive audio into a driving force for narrative and visual feedback.

This project explores landscape sculpting and biome creation using Unreal Engine’s environment tools. The level is a standalone space showcasing natural realism, lighting, and ambient design.

Terrain sculpting with layered material blending

Procedural foliage and rock placement

Interactive water using built-in Unreal Engine water system

Lighting zones mimicking weather and time of day

A cohesive and atmospheric world space used to practice environmental storytelling through natural terrain, movement paths, and player-centric composition.
