Nightographer

You are a photographer on a mission.  Explore the woods, gather great pictures!

This game was made for Acerola Jam 0. Theme was Aberration.

My goal was to make some kind of ambient analog horror game.

I wanted to explore a camera mechanic, asking the player to switch between views or keep a picture of a past element. At the end I did not made many thing with this mechanic; mostly because I spent to much time building the map ( witch is half used half empty) and taking in game pictures.

Taking a picture, you can get different descriptions of different things (sadly my "too close" comments are triggered at normal distances sometimes, and other little issues.)

You can get your in game pictures by clicking the download button. If you are playing a desktop version, pictures are automatically saved in game folder (:

You can also play with a controller (input mapping might vary).

If find it best to play with a controller.

How It's Made

I used Godot (4.2) with HeightMap Terrain plugin.

Art wise, I only did the cover picture of the game.

 3D models and textures are from :
