Inspiration & ideas - Alison road & silent hills P.T.



Since the horror level option was chosen, I started off by researching into various first person survival- horror games to gain inspiration for all the immersion aspects. I also used the level layouts as a basis for ideas of my own project.



Allison Road


A game developed by lilith & Team 17 (worms) shows the realistic architecture and type of  environment of a modern home. This game has been chosen as one of my inspirations because of its ability to show A NORMAL LOOKING HOME, yet still include little hints of horror to scare the player. The other reason why it seems immersive in aspects are because of its first person view, making it seem like you are playing through the character & seeing through his eyes.



P.T. Silent Hills


A game developed by Kojima productions, previously a side branch to Konami. This  game is a prime example of a fully immersive experience, with its ultra realistic styled, L - shaped hallway that repeats on a loop, matching sounds and ambient music to its environmental objects, Dimmed lighting to enhance the horror aspect, all these factors which therefore in turn creates presence.
