CRYOLIMINAL V2 (Prototype)

Solo Project.
Created in Unreal Engine 5 (UE5).

In Cryoliminal the player finds themselves trapped in a medical facility, from which they can not escape, as each attempt to leave is met by the same space looping back on itself. Desperate and alone, the player must investigate the environment to find clues to where they are, and why they are trapped there, and ultimately dive into the psyche and past actions of the main character; as only by accepting some truths about themselves and their actions can they successfully leave.

Ultimately, Aaron will choose acceptance and reconciliation with himself, and awaken from the simulation to a new world, or he will choose to have his brain “switched off” as he cannot deal with the guilt and grief. This was a prototype for a final major project, completed as part of a Master's Degree in 'Indie Game Development' at Falmouth University.  The project was awarded a 'High Distinction' grade and contributed to an overall 'Distinction' MA (Hons).
