The Unknown

About The Unknown

Trapped in the unknown, you want to learn; what are you, who are you, how to get out. It's scary and dark, but for a delicate being like yourself, it doesn’t bother you for some reason. Your goal is to leave the unknown while discovering more about yourself. Or if you choose, to stay and explore what it has to offer.

By reading notes left behind and item descriptions, you can learn more about the story written. (For the sake of the demo, the items have been made void for the 1st floor.) You can also pick up clues from the environment’s design

Development Plans:

This is a short demo showcasing a rough version of the gameplay for The Unknown. The main mechanic you might've noticed, the player has no attack ability, so you must use the invisibility and speed skills to out-maneuver enemies. With the other floors (more levels, higher difficulty) the player will be forced to use creative thinking and unique problem-solving to clear them. Not brute force it, like the 1st floor (demo), but use items hidden around the floors to make their survival more secure. While the player attempts to survive and make their way out of the unknown, I hope for the player to read the notes left around and item descriptions giving passive hints to the player’s next actions and the storyline.
