Enemy Design In the first level, there are 10 different types of

enemies including traps (mimic boxes/barrels). Enemies are designed to have a horror appeal to

fit the level design such as spiders, demons and zombies.

Each enemy has different attack patterns.

Character Design The gameplay is designed around 3 character

classes – Warrior, Rogue and Engineer. Warrior – Focus on fighting/action. Rogue – Focus on platforming. Engineer – Focus on puzzle solving. Specific objects in the room will only be activated

if a certain character uses it. Some rooms are more character specific however

all classes can fight.

Level Design The dungeon will be randomly generated over a

grid. Rooms are a mixture of corridors and themed

puzzle rooms such as horror/fire. The level is designed to accommodate each

character’s skillset.
