“Still trapped on the alien planet Cocytus, Boston finds himself in an underwater Spire; searching for a mysterious ‘Pyramid’. According to Maggie, here lies the key to their escape…”
As part of a school project, we took on the task of making a “The Dig“(1995)-inspired game, using the same characters, location, and inheriting a mechanic of our choice.
All in under three weeks, as our very first Unreal Engine project.
The DIIG is a puzzle game where the goal is to find the mysterious Pyramid, treasure of Cocytus. You can pick up and place light-bending gems to refract light beams into receptors; opening up the way, there are also special gems that split the light in two!
Along the way, you’ll find stone tablets containing hints on what to do, for example giving out the sequence of statue rotations to perform to unlock another light receptor.
