Beyond Strange

Overview

Beyond Strange is a first person action-horror mystery. It is a single player game for the PC where the controls are the keypad and mouse. The game takes place in a research facility gone dark after some time, and the player decides to investigate. As the player investigates, he or she must get through the obstacles and survive the dangers that hide within the facility. Designers: Mark Salinas

Goal

The player’s overall goal is to find and gather clues to figure out what happened at the research facility, and in each level to find ways or items needed to access further levels.

Gameplay

There will be debris or elemental obstacles that hurt the player that the player must maneuver around as they move through each level. The player explores each area for clues and items needed to access unreachable areas. For the player to access some areas, hacking will be required, and some clues found can help the player hack computer terminals. New weapons can be found in some difficult to access areas in some levels. Future levels will include enemies.

Obstacles: Locked Doors, Barricaded doorways, Computer terminals requiring access codes, debris,  and fire

Mechanics: walk, or go in a crawl position (press q or c) and move while crawling, shoot (left click) and aim (with the mouse), change directions (with mouse), jump (spaceBar), open doors, and crawl through vents
