Realm of Unrest

Nominee of the Talent Award 2025

Description

Realm of Unrest is a first-person horror adventure game combining the dark arts of alchemy and necromancy with modern academic life.

Inspired by titles like Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Resident Evil 2, the game builds psychological tension through atmosphere, puzzles, and emotional storytelling rather than jump scares. Players control students who accidentally release a malevolent entity and must explore a gothic university filled with secrets and supernatural threats. Core mechanics include environmental puzzle-solving, exploration, and narrative discovery. Hand-painted textures, eerie lighting, and a synth-heavy soundtrack evoke 1980s horror cinema, immersing players in a chilling, stylised world.

The game challenges players to think critically and confront the consequences of their actions in a narrative-driven experience.
