A lone reporter arrives at an abandoned graveyard in search of answers. A lost little girl asks you to help her find her father. What begins as a simple walk through the cemetery slowly transforms into something far more sinister.

Explore a dark pixel-art world, uncover unsettling clues, and follow the girl deeper into the maze where reality begins to twist. Every step brings you closer to a truth that should have stayed buried.

Features

• Top-down 2D pixel-art horror experience
• Atmospheric exploration and environmental storytelling
• Character dialogue and scripted events
• Dynamic lighting, fog, and cutscenes
• A short horror experience designed as a playable demo

Developer's Note

This is my first ever public game demo, created in Unity as both a horror project and a way to learn the core systems that go into making games. During development I learned and implemented features such as dialogue systems, cutscenes, shaders, dynamic lighting, audio management, scripted events, and game state management.

This demo represents the first step in bringing the world of Dämmerhafen to life. Thank you for taking the time to play it, and I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions you have.
