Technicals

Haunted Hospital begins with the player arriving with a camcorder as they begin exploring the hospital and find out that something is seriously wrong and begin to uncover why was it abandoned. They have access to ghost hunting tools that can give them an edge
Below are the youtube video links for gameplay, as the site may not let them load it's better to click on the link directly to view it!
I Collected a few assets from online from asset packs as well as made my own for the hospital environment, I then made a simple player controller in unreal and gave the player a flashlight, a kinetic camera that first showed the kinetic bones of the ghost somewhere around the players vision to indicate the ghost is nearby, upon upgrades it fully shows the ghost attached to the kinetic bones, it was heavily inspired by the image below of the controversial Microsoft kinect camera which could see ghosts
To communicate with ghosts and learn their backstory, I gave the player a spirit box, they'd first have to surround it with himalayan salt crystals as they are believed to absord energy from the ghosts, this would ensure that the player would not be attacked by ghosts directly but they could approach the player from a distance to communicate with them via the spiritbox. The player can then hear the ghosts talking and accordingly proceed from there

I also imagined that the player would find a graveyard outside the hospital or perhaps a body chute (See waverly hills sanatorium for reference) where the player could come across a vial of holy water which they could use to hunt down demons while allowing the innocent souls to escape from their jail which would be the body chute where they were buried.
So the summary would be the player entering a hospital and finding ghosts and demons, they find out that the demons are evil and feeding off the energy from the innocent souls who are damned to do their dirty work. The player would then go across the hospital and find a holy water flask to finally get rid of the demons and freeing the innocent spirits

I personally love horror games and would love to create a fully fleshed out game someday
