“Please, be alive. Please.. wake up.. Oh, finally! Finally I can see you move. Come on- listen! Listen, listen. You have to get up now and find the key card. I know where it is. It's the security officer speaking. I'm currently sitting in the surveillance room. I would do it myself but I'm injured. You have to get it. But first of all you have to get the fuck out of this room because THEY are coming. I can see them on the cams. I will guide you through. You have to trust me.”

(Security Guard, Exodus)

Vision Statement

We are trying to create a one of a kind horror game experience, where you are stuck in between two colliding realities and the only way to orient yourself through this labyrinth of a laboratory are vocal cues received through a walkie talkie. We want to dive deep into the concept of merge conflicts between two alternate realities and the horror that ensues when you can't even trust what you see anymore. Exodus will be an anomalous journey through a place that knows no humanity.

Game Mechanics

The player can walk, run, crouch, hide, pick up/drop items and use items with the help of basic keyboard commands. The first person camera can be turned in a 180° angle by moving the mouse. There is no combat and the player can't attack. The only items the user carries around are a flashlight, a walkie talkie and a record player. The game flow is linear: there is a narrative part with clues or an encounter with an enemy that forces the player to move from one facility section to the other. The enemies attack once they see the player or hear electronics being used.

Story

After a terrible lab accident, that played with the fabric of reality itself, a secret underground laboratory has started to behave in anomalous ways. The player wakes up shortly after the accident takes place without any recollection of the horrors, that had happened. The only other person alive is a security guard hiding away in the surveillance room. Through a Walkie talkie he helps you navigate the strangely behaving laboratory, to find a keycard granting an exit out of the locked down facility. Strange humanoid creatures now roam the halls, where do they come from and how did any of this happen?
