Second Maze

Have you ever thought to yourself "What does a second person game  look like"?

Yeah, me too, until one day I found a video on Youtube.

*Thats a pretty good video, props to it.

AND THAT GAVE ME AN IDEA

What if? We could make an even more nerve-wracking horror game, based on this?
And so one day in late 2020, I made this prototype.

This prototype its for a survival horror game,  about running from a monster while trying to reach the end of a maze. Inspired from Amnesia Series, the base would be a dark atmosphere, unsettling environments and a creepy monster. In this case, the idea for the second person would be the monster itself, and since it was a maze like levels, a minotaur would be fitting.

This prototype helped put into action the many problems that involve the second-person game, mainly the lack of intuitive controls due to the characteristics of a playable character that is not bound to the view experienced by the player.

Its still an interesting concept that can really work in some game types, like exemplified in the video.
