Gameplay

Reflections

The task from the level was to make a semi-open location using several mechanics (such as reveal walls, flashlight, etc.). I also decided to try myself as a Level Artist and put together the first part of the location from the props. The task was to create not just a corridor location, but also to add a little variation in routes.
