LUCAS FURATORI MARANZATO
Trailer
Between Us is a platform puzzle game made by my university group "Octoblind" (me and 4 colleagues) in 2020 first half, inspired on Philip K. Dick's Second Variety.
The player controls Ali, a National Force's test subject that acquired the telekinesis power. The goal is to escape the stronghold, survive and make a final choice.
The game starts with a first cut scene to help the player understand a little bit of where he is and why. A voice in Ali's head say a lot of things and the player has no choice but trust that.
Our intention was build trust between the player and that voice, for later, make the player feel betrayed.
Gameplay
As a simple platform puzzle game, the main controls are A and D for horizontal movement and W to jump.
Left Mouse Button to levitate objects, and Right Mouse Button to freeze objects on air (just after the second level).
Box Mechanics
Because the player are stucked in secret government places full of loads, the game mechanics are pretty much conected to boxes.
They can be used both for kill soldiers and activate buttons.
As well as defeating the final boss, which throw a lot of boxes into the player.
Enemies
The main enemies are the soldier, the robot sentinel and the fixed sentry.
All of them can search for the player with their viewfinders, and begin shooting if the target goes into the red light.
Also, there are mortal lasers, turning on and off.
Boss
In the first stage, the speed of the boss' throwings is slower.
To defeat the boss, it's needed to hit the red targets.
In the second stage, the speed of the boss' throwings is faster.
To defeat the boss, it's needed to hit the blue targets.
