VOID HEALING – Blocky Prototype Preview

Hello everyone,

Here’s a little preview of three core game mechanics/systems I’ve prototyped for my first-person stealth/survival horror game VOID HEALING:

  • “Partner Zapping”
  • “Sight Jacking”
  • Telekinesis

Fans of the genre will recognize two of them since they previously appeared in titles such as the Siren series, Resident Evil Ø & Revelations 2, and even Keiichiro Toyama’s latest opus Slitterhead. One of my goals for the full game is to expand these concepts to bring new intriguing gameplay dynamics, open-ended branching levels and strong story events, all within the thematic framework of empathy, morality, human/mechanical connections and creativity.

Please note that this prototype is aimed at functionality rather than audiovisual components and intricate details, and that this project—which is currently in pre-production—is solely designed + programmed by myself at the moment, with no budget. So the shared footage is inevitably rough on multiple aspects, but I hope you’ll see some kind of potential in it. Thank you!

If you have any questions and/or feedback, please don’t hesitate!

Have a good day,
Soulful :heart:

Hi there @SoulfulCode,

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

I was not expecting a morality story-driven horror game to be in the mix this year but this is genuinely such a fascinating concept. I’m absolutely going to need more gameplay footage :joy:

Happy developing, I can’t wait to see more!

Hi @PresumptivePanda !

Thank you, this week has been pretty good so far, I hope it’s also the case for you! :grinning_face:

I’m trying to achieve creative experiments that are similar to what we could find during the PS2 era (especially the titles I grew up with), so I’m really glad that you find the game conceptually fascinating. This means a lot to me! I don’t know when I’ll have the possibility to show more of it as the road is very long, but I hope it’ll be sooner than expected!

Thanks again! Your words encourage me a lot! :blush:
