Development Journey

Memories of a Scattered Mind was my first 3D project in Unity: a psychological horror experience focused on storytelling and atmosphere over traditional jump scares.

Maintaining tension and dread without jump scares required careful level design, pacing, and audio work. We focused on environmental storytelling and subtle cues to immerse players in William's fractured mind.
Learned the importance of pacing and environmental design in psychological horror, and how sound can be used to drive emotion and narrative.
Developed custom audio triggers and dynamic lighting systems to enhance immersion and player experience.

Key Challenges

Designing audio-driven horror cues without visual dependency.
Optimizing lighting and post-processing for low-end hardware without losing atmosphere.
