Game Description  \nThe main goal of the practical course “Computer Games Laboratory” is to design and develop a video game in teams of three to four people with a defined theme and some technical achievement. This semester’s theme is “Slender Man”.  \nThe original “Slender Man” game is a first-person horror game, where players have to collect randomly placed notes in a dark forest while evading the Slender Man. In the game, the Slender Man is portrayed as a tall entity that wears a black suit and boasts unusually long limbs. When moving, he is not walking explicitly, but teleporting or hovering above the ground. As one of the most disturbing features, the Slender Man lacks any kind of facial features and only has a white blank face. In other media, like films or comics, the Slender Man is also portrayed as a sinister character that the heroes of the story have to run away and escape from. He also often corrupts and overtakes other living beings.  \nWith this characterization of the Slender Man in mind, we came up with the idea of a dungeon runner, where players are chased by the Slender Man and have to cross a labyrinth in a rapid fashion while evading traps and making fast-paced decisions. According to this general idea, we decided to name our project “Nowhere to Hide”.  \n1.1) Gameplay  \nThe game is designed as a fast to pick up, casual mobile game that instantly pulls players into a flow state with its easy to understand yet challenging gameplay.  \nThis is achieved by presenting players with a pool of limited decisions in the manner of quick-time events while passing the labyrinth. The rapid flow and imminent threat of the Slender Man requires fast thinking that results in immediate feedback. Gameplay, level design and visual effects are supposed to create a sense of dread in players while running through the labyrinth that is characteristic for the “Slender Man” genre.  \nThe game is level based. The end goal is a door that needs to be unlocked along the way. Each level introduces new mechanics and power ups that can be gathered. If players get caught by Slender Man, they get reset to the first level.  \nPassing the labyrinth consists of two phases: The running-phase and the fighting-phase.  \n1. 1. 1) Running Phase  \nCentral goal of the running phase is to reach the end of the labyrinth while being chased by the Slender Man. To this end, the player is faced with a series of quicktime events where fast decision making is needed. These events include which way to go at a crossroad or to turn into a passage, trying to get treasures along the way,  \nbut potentially being slowed down in the process, and other actions like rolling or swinging on a rope.  \nSome options are not available when first passing the quick time event (like locked doors, barricaded pathways), and require special items and skills that can be found in the labyrinth.  \nThe expected results of each decision, e.g. whether treasure can be found when running along a longer path, are not random but telegraphed beforehand in order to promote quick decision-making and planning.  \nThe labyrinth layout itself is procedurally generated and differs between each run. We require the generated levels to include loops and shortcuts to give the player the option to go back to previous locations and to open secret passages and locked doors with newly found items or keys. This also encourages the player to pay greater attention to the level’s layout and to function as an additional skill required by the player.  \nAs an aid, a mini map showing already visited paths and encountered obstacles might be enabled.  \nIn the running phase, players are automatically moved forward but they have free control to move left and right on the path to evade obstacles in order to gain speed and an advantage over the Slender Man.  \nThe camera is placed over the character ’s shoulder to enable a third person view and allow for a good overview of the path ahead to ev","cbCaifgzlgOI2vHQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifgzlgOI2vHQ","pdf",4884481,14,"English","# Game Proposal: Nowhere to Hide\n## 1.
