ERA (Escape Room Alchemist) - [School Project]

(Made between January and May 2022)

In order to obtain your diploma and become a fully fledged alchemist, you must complete one task: escape the workshop with the means of the 5 elemental stones.
Will you manage to solve the riddles within this magical place?

ERA is an Escape Room in VR, where you play as an alchemy apprentice on their final exam of school.
In this game, 5 stones are hidden throughout the 3 rooms, each of them granting you the use of an element - Water, Electricity, Air, Fire and Earth. You must use them in order to solve each of the riddles - and once all of the stones are set in their spots on the magic circle, the door shall open.
In order to pass this test, you'll need to follow the school's motto: Observe, Experiment, Reflect. Will you succeed?

For this project, I mainly worked on the integration of the assets, the creation of the map and objects placements, as well as on the code with an external professional developper to help me, but also on the concept arts and conception of the world, its lore and how it plays in the game.

You can find the game on itch.io:
