Statement

My project is the concept art and level design for an original game called “The Escape Room Challenge”, a horror game disguised as a typical escape room. Like real escape rooms, the main objective is to escape by solving puzzles within a set amount of time. But what if it could be more than just puzzle solving? “The Escape Room Challenge” combines various mechanics such as platforming and survival based along with a deep and interactive storyline. The level I am illustrating is the first tutorial, where both basic controls and some of the more prominent core mechanics are shown. Besides its normal purpose, the tutorial level is also the level that showcases the transition from normalcy into something that’s otherworldly, mystical, and even deadly.
