Hi everyone,

I’d like to share The Box of Fear, a first-person psychological horror experience built in Unreal Engine 5.

This project explores claustrophobic environments, environmental puzzles, and a story about a father searching for his missing daughter inside a mysterious company called The Box.

:brain: Project Highlights (Unreal Engine Features):

  • Built entirely in UE5, taking advantage of dynamic lighting and advanced post-processing.
  • Includes physics-based puzzles, interactive objects, and environmental storytelling.
  • Designed for tension and immersion, with careful lighting, sound design, and pacing.

:rocket: Availability:

  • Lite Version (demo) now playable on itchio, around 10–15 minutes of exploration and puzzles.
  • Full release coming soon to Steam. If you enjoy the demo, it would mean a lot if you could support us through wishlisting:

Play the Lite Version here:

Your feedback has been invaluable so far—thank you to the community for all insights so far, especially regarding UI/menu fixes and pacing.

:hammer_and_wrench: Recent Update Highlights:

  • New trailer has been released showcasing in-engine gameplay footage and atmosphere.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—especially from the Unreal community—and any feedback you have on lighting setups, puzzle design, or performance. Thanks for checking out The Box of Fear!

Best,
Bruno

Hey there @EhOpranD,

Hope you’re well and having a wonderful week so far :slight_smile:

The trailer for this was so darn cool. From beginning to end it felt eerie but also captivating. The puzzles, especially, seem fun to interact with. :smiley: Is there any part of the game that you’re especially excited to see players experience?
