DESCRIPTION

The Human Gallery is an upcoming 2D psychological horror game for PC.

You take the role of a painter who ventures into the mind of a psychopath in search of inspiration.
Soon it becomes clear that you can't wake from the nightmare you are wound up in.

Your only hope for awakening is to venture deeper into his mind...


FEATURES

The Human Gallery is not a game about fancy mechanics, it is a game about the atmosphere.
Sure the gameplay and the controls are as smooth as possible to give players the best possible experience, but the main focus is how the game feels.

Controls are simple but efficient: You move left or right and use the mouse to control your oil lamp and to interact with objects and surroundings.

  • Side scrolling 2D with unique digitally drawn graphics
  • Atmospheric and complex soundtrack with a lots of different moods
  • Minimalist interace so the focus stays in the experience
  • Explore the disturbed world and collect sound recordings to learn the history
  • One man effort - Graphics, animation, coding, music... You name it!


    • The game is being developed in resolution of 1920x1080 and it runs 60 frames per second.
    The visible area is 1920x800 as this format fits the art-style perfectly!


    HISTORY:

    I started working with this project soon after I released my debut game called Silence of the Sleep 1st of October in 2014.
    So I'd say I started with this project somewhere around the December, 2014.

    SotS was my first game, and with the first game I mean the first game ever. That said the learning curve was pretty insane.
    I felt I have a lot more to give so I slowly started planning my next project, trying to learn from the past mistakes and make something unique that has hopefully a strong impact.

    And here I am, one man band working with another game! :)
