We're a small indie team of 3 (programmer, game designer, concept artist) building a first-person psychological horror game in UE5. The vertical slice is done and we're looking to expand the team for full production. The game is set in an abandoned research facility with a focus on atmosphere, environmental storytelling, and psychological tension over jump scares. Target platforms are PC and console. We have a publisher interested but no deal signed yet.
