Overall Vision

A top-down CO-OP ethereal survival game similar to Zomboid. However, instead of zombies, the player faces ethereal beings. Through the ever-growing sea of malicious yet surreal creatures, the player must find and reinforce a shelter whilst managing themselves and their friends’ necessary survival needs.

Semester Goals

1. Create a local multiplayer survival game
2. Create an enticing gameplay loop that encourages teamwork
3. Instill an uneasy emotion while encountering enemies and ethereal events
4. Provide an easily portable game
