Drop Serene

Game Design

Drop Serene is a first-person horror game in which the player must traverse through maze-like tunnels and interact with runes hidden throughout each level to progress to the next. The player's flashlight must be used sparingly in order to avoid attracting a light-sensitive monster lurking throughout each level.

​

This game was designed to be a simple horror game revolving around using a crucial game mechanic, the flashlight, conservatively rather than having it always on. The player must balance between being able to see and evading a persistent threat.
