VR Horror Escape Room

This VR Escape Room game was created by Danny Huang and Johnny Sheng. It is designed to run on Quest devices.

In the game:

Your father used to be a high school teacher and loved books. Suddenly, he disappeared out of nowhere. You start the game in your father's bedroom, and curious enough, you decide to pick up one of his books and place it on his old desk...

Your goal is to escape... Good luck!

Development Process (WARNING: only read this after you've played the game unless you want spoilers):

The development process was filled with challenges. The scene of the abandoned highschool had a lot of lighting, shaders, and prefabs which makes the overall game huge to build. Designing the flashlight that allowed the user to hold while projecting light into a baked environment was fun but also challenging. The key-pads were not difficult to make with logics such as displaying 'access denied' when the wrong passcode is entered, an auto reset time, and an animator trigger linked to the door that the player needs to unlock. The game also has a pause UI panel that spawns in front of the user's camera every time if they want to pause the game, which is a pretty good way of designing a responsive UI in VR (via anchroing to the main camera object). The book puzzle was difficult to make, especially the logic of sockets and getting the game to recognize the socket positions. We used IDs for the books and the book sockets to determine whether the player arranged the books correctly or not. The jump scare animation was not hard to make, but we had to arrange it so that it plays instantly after the book puzzle is solved, then the prefab disappears, followed by the final hint that tells the player to head upstaris along side the looping voice of the final key code. Overall, it's a super fun project, and please give any feedback you guys have!

Possible future revisions:

- Make the jump scare character actually chase you around
