Thicket

Welcome to the world of Thicket, where the trees are watching your every move, and you must collect 8 ingredients and bring them to the cauldron to escape the accursed forest you're trapped in.

 
Controls: WASD to move, SHIFT to sprint, LMB to collect items, F to toggle flashlight.

Can you survive the living forest around you?

Themes: 

• Tooth and Nail:
  • We used this as a motif through the enemy having prominent nails sticking out of it, two of the items being teeth-related, and the nails as part of a set piece.
• Gnarly:
  • Our enemy was designed around the concept of gnarly, incorporating the twistiness found in natural trees as part of the horror.
• Brews & Broomsticks
  • The basis of the game is centered around collecting ingredients to conduct a ritual using the cauldron and brewing an implied escape portal.
