The Red Square

The Red Square is an abstract single player horror adventure game. I use it as a playground for experience- and level design.

The Red Square started as a rapid prototype project for HKU wherein we had one week to create a game around the idea "creepy." I created The Red Square, and afterwards, realized its awesome potential for a full indie game and for unique storytelling purposes while allowing me to work in the time contraints I have as a lone creator.
