Embark on a gripping adventure as a seasoned detective, tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearance of the workers from an office building. As you step into the empty corridors and deserted offices, an eerie silence hangs in the air, punctuated only by the sound of your footsteps echoing off the walls. Alone in the empty building, you must unravel the secrets hidden within its walls and navigate through complex puzzles to uncover the truth lurking at the top floor.
“This project aimed to create a varied experience for players by incorporating random elements into level design. During development, I introduced random spawn points, shuffling passwords and codes, and used a random number generator for puzzle solutions and item placements to enhance replayability.The development process had its challenges, but I overcame them through iterative testing and refinement. While the project may have deviated from its original concept of procedural generation, it demonstrates the versatility of randomization techniques in creating replayable gameplay experiences.”
