Darkslip (Demo)

This is Darkslip, a top-down 2D game inspired by games like Dead Space and Prey. I’ve created this game for the capstone project of my Video Game Production Associate’s Degree during the 2022 Spring semester at Paradise Valley Community College. 

Darkslip uses Unity as its game engine, and uses the Universal Rendering Pipeline. I’ve made some of the art used in this game with Libresprite and Photoshop; specifically the tilemaps, Sean, enemies, and the UI. I’ve also created the C# scripts used for the game logic. The game’s setting takes place in a sci-fi universe where several alien species and humanity have come together to form a galactic council. Scattered around certain star systems are research stations whose purpose is to study cosmological phenomena and anomalies.

In Darkslip, you play as Sean, a private investigator sent to find out why the research station CZ-17 went radio silent. You start off with a weapon that you can use to protect yourself. You can pick up items scattered around the station to learn about what happened and find codes to unlock doors. What happened to the people on this station, and what will happen to you?
