3D Action & Visual Novel Hybrid Game

In this game, the player controls Sophia, the main protagonist, who works alongside a robot named Rosie. The goal is to collect Rosie’s missing parts through action-based gameplay.

The game is structured in two parts: a shooting/action phase where players collect parts, and a visual novel phase where the story unfolds. The number of parts collected in the action phase directly affects the game's ending, allowing for multiple narrative outcomes.

Feeling that a static 2D title screen might be underwhelming, I wanted to fully leverage Unity’s 3D capabilities. As a result, I designed both the title screen and novel interface backgrounds using animated 3D scenes to provide a stronger sense of immersion and atmosphere.

Puzzle Action Adventure in a World of Darkness and Light

This is a puzzle action game set in a world consumed by darkness. Players control a young girl who holds the power to share light, embarking on a journey to restore it to the world.

The game emphasizes an immersive atmosphere and level design that ensures any player can complete it, making it accessible and engaging for a wide audience.

For the prologue, I created a text morphing animation using Blender’s Geometry Nodes. This allowed for precise control over shape transitions, resulting in a smooth and expressive animation that enhances the narrative experience.

Unconventional and interesting

This was a game developed for entry into BitSummit: The 13th Summer of Yokai. While it retained the strategic appeal of chess, it focused on breaking the familiar conventions of the game that players were used to — for example, having the chessboard collapse under the weight of the pieces.

The goal was to deliver a fresh and surprising experience by twisting the traditional rules of chess.

Hell of Unpredictable Traps

“Oops!!!!” is a 3D surprise action game filled with hidden tricks and gimmicks. Each stage is packed with challenges—paths that only appear during blackouts and traps that move in unpredictable ways. Overcome these unexpected obstacles through trial, error, and flashes of inspiration!

Challenge of the “Peek Hole” Expression: Creating It with a Shader

In “Oops!!!!”, special attention was given to the visual expression of “peek holes” in the walls. In the early stages of development, the walls completely enclosed each stage, which severely limited the player’s field of view and made the gameplay feel restrictive. To solve this, I implemented a custom HLSL shader in Unity that can hide only specific objects located behind certain other objects. This Shader allows walls to become partially transparent while revealing only selected objects—such as the player, traps, or mechanisms—behind them, achieving a visual effect that truly resembles looking through a peephole.
