The Harrowing

The Harrowing is a second year University Project in Level Design. Created by Kasey Rees, Rebecca Jeffries, Jacob Stevenson and Maverick Lin.

The Harrowing is a horror and suspense role-playing experience with puzzle elements. The player’s primary goal is to escape from an unseen, predatory entity—“the Creature”—by ascending through three distinct natural and manmade environments. The player’s progress is hindered not only by the Creature, but variously by other antagonistic entities, as well as minor puzzles such as locked doors, rudimentary elevators, and natural formations such as ice and rocks. To navigate these obstacles, the player must locate and use certain items, such as torches, maps, keys, and a sonar jammer.
