No Suprises!

Find all the presents before your Mom gets home! 

Chillenium 2025

To stay on theme the team thought it would be a great idea to think of 'plain' as the actual axis 'planes' in the game! This was the main driving force of how the cameras would operate for each room. This combining with the presents hidden against similar textures perfectly encapsulates the 'In Plain Sight' Theme

How to Play:

Left-Click: Select the presents!

WAD: Orient your camera to different axis to aid in finding the presents

Click on Arrows: Use to switch between rooms at your own will!

Lore: 

Being a 2nd grader is not easy! Turning 8 years old is even harder! You try so hard to get good grades on your math quizzes but you literally got a 2/100. You do your best to be an angel to your family but a mini devil is forming! In preparation for your birthday party, your mom left to go get a cake! (YAY!) You notice that your presents are hidden in different rooms of the house but you are itching to open them now! Patience is a virtue and you have none! Rush around the house before your mom gets home to find all of the presents she has hidden for your birthday! Hurry and make sure to not tough anything else or she will notice!

Dev Notes:

For the original plan of the game Nyako and Ash wanted to make the level have a Cel shaded post processing volume. After many tweaks they found it more successful to capture the juvenile and excited feel of the character through retro and bright textures. They found this more successful and hope that you enjoy and immerse into the imagination of our young but terror raising protagonist!

As the sole programmer Matin used CPP and math equations like distance check, dot product and cross product to make a decision for the camera to go up and down or left and right base on the inputs from the user keyboard and UI.

As a Novice in sound design, Kirk made the No Surprise theme from scratch! He captured the essence of our main protagonist through a whimsy and fun tune to remind the user that not every game has to be serious, and we can all have a fun time!
