COLD

COLD (working title): is a survival horror game based on classic PS1/N64 games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil, but has more in common with Resident Evil 4 in its handling and mechanics. It is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter with simple key and puzzle systems, a backpack inventory, and a storage chest in save cabbins/huts for players to drop off what they don’t need. There are minimal NPCs, with only one, an old blind man, Hector, who talks to the player via radio/walkie-talkie. The maps are linear for the most part, but the player is often free to backtrack for past items, weapons, or collectibles. Heavy Occult and Viking themes and elements throughout.

PLOT (subject to change): The main character, known only as “The Father”, travels to a remote, isolated European island village for a not-yet-disclosed reason. The entire island has been mysteriously overrun by “Cold Ones” (zombies), with stories and rumors of a witch or priestess having come to the village and awoken a great evil inside the ancient tower that stands in the middle of town. The Father’s plane, which he arrived on, crashes at the beginning of the game and leaves him stranded until he is done with why he has come in the first place. Throughout the game, you hear a young girl’s voice talking to her father with no context or clues as to who she is and how she is related to the MC.
