The Sleep of Reason

A short, 5 or so minute long horror experience walking simulator, with simple interaction mechanics that uses procedural audio generation to create a horror environment and evoke fear in players. Utilising a simple grey-box environment, with little focus on visual stimulation, the project should aim to explore the efficacy of audio in creating tension and fear in players. By exploring the familiar setting of a suburban home, 'The Sleep of Reason' aims to conjure that uneasy uncertainty of what is real and what is a dream.
