Weird Fiction

Level Design, Unreal Engine 4


The aim of this project was to create the level around the theme of weird fiction. The level is designed and narrated so that it could be integrated into a larger game. The focus was on level building rather than assets, therefore there are some placeholder assets present. It includes 4 sub-levels and a cinematic, with a gameplay limit of 4 to 5 minutes.

Narrative: A main lander policeman set on a journey to an isolated Scottish island where they find themselves in an odd and eerie atmosphere, a place ruled by a fearsome being from beyond and its servants, the player must advance forward to 'the other place' and destroy the altar of the sleeper, which awakens it and targets the player as the host, unleashing evil fragments devouring all being. In order to escape such a fate the player must retreat back to their boat and escape the island while the sleeper is still weak.
