Project Description:

Narrative Diner is a Unity-developed prototype where you play as a researcher aboard an underwater submarine in the distant future. Tasked with finding a mysterious squid-like creature that may hold the key to life itself, you awaken to an emergency alarm. The submarine’s power has gone out, and you must navigate the dark corridors to restore it by reaching the driver’s room and flipping the light switch. As the darkness envelops you, ominous tentacles can be seen through the windows, accompanied by unsettling sounds, building tension as the creature remains partially unseen. This prototype explores the design pattern “What Lies in the Dark”, creating fear through limited visibility and the player’s imagination, culminating in the creature’s shadowy reveal when the lights are restored.
