Synopsis -

The year is 1990. A young man finds himself alone deep within the confines of the Kowloon Walled City without any means of escape. While searching for answers, he comes into contact with Lovecraftian monstrosities hellbent on devouring him. 

Gameplay -

Fear of Death is a 3D side-scroller horror set inside the once infamous Kowloon Walled City with a heavy emphasis on stealth and exploration to tell a compelling story of guilt and depression. Hide. Survive. Uncover. Will you reveal the secrets lurking behind the walls?

Key Features -

  • Cover System: Use furniture like beds, dressers, and cage homes to hide from monsters.
  • Breathing Mechanic: Play a short minigame to control your breathing to prevent monsters from hearing you.
  • Chases: Use the unorthodox yet interconnected landscape to disorient your pursuer. 
  • Puzzles: Solve reasonably challenging puzzles to progress further and uncover the truth behind Kowloon City and its dark mysteries.  

Art Style -

The game will have a low-poly, minimalist art style with a VHS overlay replicating the style of the early 90s. The idea is to give the player an uncomfortable sense that someone is recording them in the hopes of capturing their untimely demise. This is also a callback to games from the PlayStation original.


Inspirations -

  • Silent Hill
  • Resident Evil
  • Inside
  • Darkwood

People We're Looking For -

  • 3D Environmental Artists
  • Animator
  • Level Designer
  • UI/UX Designer

We Currently Have:

  • Two Unity Programmers

  • A Sound Design Team
  • A 3D Environment Artist

  • And Me (Project Manager, Game Designer, UI/UX Designer, Level Designer, Writer)

Conclusion -

We plan to publish a working prototype on Itch.io and Newgrounds around late February, early March. When we achieve that goal, we can move to phase two of the project, which involves starting a crowdfunding campaign.

Hi! I made this account to ask if there's any way I could follow your game? I'm not particularly good at making games, but love following indie devs.

I sent a google form!
I'm interested in helping out in animation. Hopefully I can help out :)
