About this project
How deep does this mystery get? How far down into the depths can these two brave folks go?
This game was developed for COM 217 - Entertainment Software Design during Fall 2018. We used Unity to create the game and tested and presented it on the touch-screen visualization wall in Shain Library, allowing for robust touch screen game play. Our team's wide variety of skills and collective experience with programming, art, and video games has allowed us to create a fun and polished gaming experience.
