Paranormal Detective: A Unity2D Passion Project by Seth Khaw (During quarantine!)
Paranormal Detective is a solo project done by Seth Khaw. It is intended to be an experimental 2D side-scroller narrative driven pixel game with the lore set on an alternate reality where Sherlock Holmes and his associate Dr John H. Watson solve supernatural mysteries after a series of peculiar events that had transpired in a fictitious city known as Duskveil. Through the resolution of each case, the player then gradually comes to a realization that a certain overarching syndicate is involved in all preceding narratives, and it is up to the player to apprehend those guilty and eradicate the root of all evil.
Project is still currently in development and I'm really sorry for the sloppy finishing. This is my first ever solo game development project and I am still learning to get better and more familiar with the engine:) Thanks for stopping by!
Here is a video update of my progress thus far:
