Level Design
The apartment was designed to work with a fixed camera and with the aim that each room in the apartment had its own intention within the story.
The central room aims to present the player with all the rooms in the apartment, the objective is for the player to have visual access to all the rooms, a safe place in the game.
The room focuses on showing the character's bed, with the camera viewing only part of the door, with the intention of creating tension due to the player's limited vision when he goes to sleep.
The bathroom with its superior view aims to show the mirror and the interior of the shower, it is a tight place but with no room for surprises.
The kitchen that gives access to the apartment's exit door is a safe area, however, due to the fact that it is at an opposite angle to the window, the main point of the game aims to give the player the intention of fulnerability because he may be being observed
And finally we have the living room, the main room of the game, here the player will frequently look for new clues when spying on the neighbors.
