Dust Chamber : Infinite Structure. Dust. Descent into the abyss (SOMA + Subnautica)

Hello!

We (the artist and me) are making a first person adventure game with antisurvival elements.

The game takes place in the closed, abandoned world at the intersection of dark fantasy, ancient mythology and science fiction.

Kind of a mixture of SOMA's atmosphere and narrativity, Subnautica's progression, and Dark Souls levels design principles ( verticality, shortcuts ).

We play as an immortal character, consumed by the defiling, seeking eternal oblivion.

He no longer needs food or water, he can't sleep anymore.

One day he meets a lonely child, who believes that somewhere deep in the Abyss, under abandoned settlements and ancient gravesites, there's a way out of their closed world.


We'd be grateful for any feedback

Old marketplace. Once upon a time bitter copper, fuel cells and refined dust were sold here...

 

Started working on the new location - The Sewers.

 

Dust Refiner. Extracts metals, organic matter and acids from raw dust.

 

Hey! It's Unity, HDRP.

 

You can find a lot of things inside walls : secret stashes, hidden mechanisms, walled up bodies (sometimes not quite dead).

 

We got rid of almost all the on-screen interface, so this is how the game inventory looks now :

 

Thanks a lot!
No, we don't have any music yet.
But I don't think that would be a big problem since I had been making game music for ten years before I went into programming and all that stuff
