INTO THE GAOL
ROLE
Designer
DESCRIPTION
Into The Gaol is an eerie 2-player co-op puzzle mystery based in Bodmin Jail. Together, uncover the past of the mysterious jail by jumping through time and talking to spirits to avoid a deadly fate…
This was made through my first year studying Game Development: Design within a team of multidisciplined game developers. My roll in this game consisted of designing the flow of the gameplay and level functionality.
DESIGN
Core Gameplay
The main gameplay revolves around the mechanic of time travelling between three eras of Bodmin jail, each including a matching central area but different surrounding rooms.
Using this mechanic, the players can access areas that would otherwise be inaccessible when navigating each era alone.
The two players need to cooperate with this mechanic to be able to switch two separate levers in different eras in a timed event that would take too long for just one player to navigate to each.
These mechanics are paired with an overarching narrative that ensures that the player learns the mechanics and enjoys the journey!
