Project: Psychosis

Your Head or Your Heart?

A Psychological Survival-Horror Prototype scoped for development on Unreal Engine 5 and inspired by the story and gameplay of the Alan Wake series. Game development time for this project is expected to exceed at least one year and therefore will release in 2025 or later. There'll be a laser-like focus on establishing an engaging gameplay loop with novel game mechanics.

The story of Project: Psychosis is a psychological survival-horror game where the player-character, inhabited by a mysterious entity, is seeking to understand the existential crisis that plagues humanity and grapple with the trauma of the inducing psychosis they're being subjected to.

The Pathway. The Entity. And You.
