Psykhe - VR Horror Experience

Psykhe is an atmospheric VR horror game that explores the subjective experience of mental disintegration.

The player takes on the role of a hunter who becomes lost in the forest and is gradually overwhelmed by hallucinations, paranoia, and the collapse of reality.

The game centers on the fear of being hunted and losing control, brought to life through immersive environments built in Unreal Engine 5, surreal visuals, and disturbing sound design.

I was responsible for the implementation in UE5 (Game Logic, Shader, Character Controller), focusing on technical realization and communication with the design team.

The monster circles the player and attacks at random moments. It disappears when the player shines a flashlight on it. However, the flashlight batteries drain over time, and as they run low, the player experiences increasingly intense hallucinations.

The player must make their way through the forest and search for points of interest, while a ghost light guides them back whenever they stray too far from the path.
