RMVXA Psycologico - Demo

[Tokumei No]

1. Introduction

NuraxInteractive is a young italian gamedev team, working on various projects, mainly in 3D. Psycologico is the first project published by the team, even if it goes back to when there was only the founder, which is author and developer of Psycologico itself.

2. Story

You are a model traveling to your next parade location. When you decide to spend the night in the Fairson Hotel, you find yourself haunted and stalked by the staff members who, for unknown reasons, do not want customers. Only another, mysterious customer of the Hotel, named P., seems willing to help you.

3. Characters

Model - The protagonist of the story, whose name is unknown. Her travel through the distubing depths of the Fairson Hotel soon reveals small, bizzarre details about her personality.

P. - A customer of the Hotel who, like the model, is trapped in the building and has all intentions to escape. He entes in touch with the model at the beginning of the game.

Staff members - Dismal individuals whose only job seems to be ensuring the customers of the Hotel stay in their rooms during the night. At any cost.

5. Technical details/Gameplay

1. Gameplay divided between exploration, items search, puzzle solving and stealth phases.
2. The narrative reflects on the gameplay and influences every aspect of the game.
3. Metaludic contents (in both mechanics and narrative).
4. Perma-death elements. The game progresses can be lost in more than one way.
5. The whole survival horror experience is focused on the save files. The start point is the save system of the first Resident Evils games. In Psycologico, saving is necessary, but it makes you more easily traceable by the staff members, who seem able to "smell" the files in your inventory.

Thank you, @Freank

Nice art style, I love the phone graphic and the kind of 'painted' feel the screens have.

Thank you, @Ihavenoskin. It all took a shameful amount of time to be implemented with a regular and sustainable workflow, and it is always a pleasure to know someone appreciates
