Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a bit of behind-the-scenes on how this project came to life.
It all started as a small idea... and I began building it completely solo. Yep, just me — designing, coding, animating, editing... 😅

I'm a programmer at heart, so jumping into other tools was a challenge, but also super exciting!
🔹 I used Unity as my engine
🔹 Mixamo for character animations
🔹 Blender to edit 3D models
🔹 Adobe Audition to tweak sound effects
🔹 A bunch of asset packages and sounds to help shape the world

Bit by bit, I kept working every day, giving more life to the game.
I used different coding techniques to manage scenes, animations, and events — one of the most useful tools was Coroutines in Unity. They're a lifesaver when it comes to timing and handling events!

For animations, I combined a third-person character with a first-person camera, placing it right on the character's head. It gives that cinematic first-person vibe that I really wanted.

To create cinematic character movements, I also used Unity's Navigation System, which is surprisingly powerful and easy to use — perfect for solo developers like me.

As for the enemy AI (the ghosts 👻), I built a randomized patrol system to add unpredictability and tension. It's way scarier than NPCs who just repeat the same path!

There are many more tricks I used — and I’d love to share them if you’re interested.
Let me know in the comments what techniques YOU use for cinematic games!
I read every comment and I’ll reply! 🙌

And of course... I’d be so happy if you download the game, try it out, and share your thoughts with me.
Thanks for your support! 💚
