Sacred Forest

Art 107 - SPRING 2023
Instructor: Professor Gary Craig Hobbs

Sacred Forest depicts a cemetery environment at night. The player will wander around the cemetery as a kid with a lamp in hand looking for a playground. The lamp will illuminate the environment when the player moves, so the player can find a gate to get out of the cemetery and get to the playground. The game hopes to bring a spooky feeling to the players as they wander in the darkness.

The idea for this was based on the artist's experience when she was a kid. She once went to a cemetery to play with childhood friends at night and experienced peculiar events. After the trip, she dreamt about getting lost in a cemetery for a whole month. Every night, she saw herself being stuck in the dark cemetery running and screaming, but could not find the playground or get out of the place.
