Synopsis
The purpose of this project was to breakdown the safe spaces present in contemporary horror video games into their functional and aesthetic components and analyse these resulting in the creation of a taxonomy for designing these spaces. This taxonomy was then used to create a short horror game wherein the player must reclaim a safe space from a malevolent force.聽
Seeking Sanctuary: Creating Safety in Unsafe Places
This project looks to deepen our understanding of the functional and aesthetic aspects of safe space design in horror-themed video games.
Motivation
I love horror games and horror films so creating a horror themed project was a no brainer. I got to write and create things in a genre that I love and no one could stop me.
