Over six months our team developed a horror gaming experience where we invite our players to turn out the lights and enter an immersive, atmospheric world. 聽 Kraven Manor challenges the player to explore an expansive manor where the player has the power to dynamically alter the game鈥檚 layout by interacting with a miniature scale model of the manor. 聽The player explores the manor to find miniature models of rooms and carry them back to an increasingly elaborate puzzle. Wherever the player adds a model onto the scale model, the associated room moves and appears in real space. With each new room comes a new revelation of the troubling past of William Kraven, and the growing threat of an evil presence that relentlessly follows you to the end of your journey. 聽
During development, we originally designed Kraven Manor with more focus on randomized, dynamic gameplay. 聽Our greatest struggle and success came when redesigning the game鈥檚 focus after a weak Vertical Slice milestone, making the game more linear and developing the mantra, 鈥淜eep it Scary.鈥� 聽When we publicly beta tested our redesigned Kraven Manor online, we received a response from the indie gaming community that exceeded our wildest expectations.
