This was our 2015 Game Jam entry. I developed this game with my 14 year old son in 48 hours using Unity3d. We wanted a game that tells a story. We had two days to create something, and this is what we came up with. You are stuck in a prison cell with no escape. You keep passing out and having these visions / out of body experiences that allow you to wander the prison. Are your dreams real?

Please keep your expectations for code quality low and keep in mind 48 hours is not a lot of time to finish a project. And much of this project was done on very little sleep.

Project Notes

Doing a project like this in two days was super tough. We had to limit the scope of the project to get it done quickly.

  • I enjoyed developing the switch from night to day (out of body) concept. We change the music and lighting so the player can tell they are dreaming.

  • I Created a triggered story system that allows you to tell stories based on triggers in the game. Still a bit rough, but allowed us to build the dialog and story faster.

  • The ending of the game is creative / unexpected. Makes you think.
