Dead Silence

This is my first game project that I developed completely by myself from scratch. I started this project with no game development experience, learning everything during the process. The entire map, mechanics, and systems were created by me.

The game is a horror survival experience where you must avoid a dangerous killer AI. The killer "searches" for the player, flashlight light affects the range of the AI.

Main Features:

• AI Killer that hunts the player
• Notes scattered around the map that add atmosphere and story elements
• Quick item bar (1–2) for switching between items
• A simple but functional HUD
• Working flashlight that helps you see in the dark
• Stamina system that limits how long you can run
• No jump mechanic, making movement more realistic and tense
• Door and key system — some areas require keys to access
• Hiding system — you can hide from the killer in coffins placed around the map
• Flashlight light affects the killer's attention level, meaning using it carelessly may reveal your position
• Some sound design to improve immersion
• The entire map was created from scratch by me

⚠️ The crowbar weapon is currently unfinished and still in development.

⚠️ No escape system.

This project was created mainly as a learning experience, and it represents my first step into game development. Despite starting with no experience. Some parts of the project were developed with the help of AI tools. Some 3D models were created by me, while others are free assets that I found online and used in the project.
