Sinister
A downloadable game
Sinister is a horror walking simulator. The project is born on the 16 march 2026 of a tortured mind and the constraint of an obscure Scottish folklore. (Great-hand) It's a school project that as gone too far...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1791, in Edinburgh, a thief with only his left-hand attempts to retrieve his right hand after it was severed following a sentence for theft. Dahnier Gall, you, sets out on his final heist through the city’s underground tunnels to reclaim what is rightfully yours at Horywood Palace.
(Un)Aware of the horrors that lurk in the shadows…

The playable build lasts between ten and twenty minutes, and initially my exam requirements meant I had to submit a playable prototype in a plain grey box, with the main features and the basic 3Cs (camera, character, controller).
I began to get to grips with Unity as I built the prototype, and I may have gone a bit overboard. Having a lack of time to develop this project, you will sometimes find references I use in my project such as the sound VFX and the ambient. I used free assets and textures on the asset store and tried to make this project as personal as possible. (even thought it's still a basic walking simulator horror game)
I was advised to post this work on Itch.io, like most of the older projects I’ve designed in Gamejams.
This project is, however, the first solo project I’m posting, so…
Phew, please enjoy. Tell me if you see any bugs or stuff. I don't plan on making next part of this game, but if you want to see more of it, let me know in the comments. This project includes a Game Design Bible that explains everything in details with a lot of formalization.
Imma gonna go to sleep... For now.

Is there a bug from preventing the door at the end from opening currently? After getting all the valves put on and walking to the door, the interact red hand icon appears but doesn't let you interact with it.
Yes I'm actually patching this, in the game, I will reupload a new version at the end of the day, sorry for the inconvenience.
PS : Many things are going to be patched such as the character controler, setting interface, notes interface, and there is going to have a stamina bar too.
Oh I see! No problem at all. I've got some footage of the gameplay I'd like to upload once I can actually beat the game, if that's okay with you. Will definitely get back to it as soon as it's patched!
No problem for that, I actually made a V1 for the game so normally everything is now patched and I made some more content features.
