This was an unreleased project spanning summer 2022 into fall of 2023.
I was responsible for a lot on this project. Full level planning was done alongside another designer, but story work and major plot points were largely my own. I ended up doing full 3d block outs for each level, including detailed planning revisions where needed, and then worked to get things in and working. Large amounts of the functional code ended up on my plate, too. As Creative director, I also spent a good amount of time on helping with tasking for the team, checking in on progress, and feedback cycles as things came in.
On the bright side, much of that code work and experience was carried over to HCW; Things like door tween scripts, editor tooling and generic puzzle sequencing were put to good use.
