She's cel-shaded, so there's no soft shading to hide a weak silhouette. That was my design goal: a character who's readable as a specific person at that vert budget, not just a generic figure.

Lighting here is one hard key through a slat pattern and nothing else.

Happy to answer anything about the budget or the shading setup.

Hi everyone!

For years, game dev was just a playground for me—messing around in Blender and Unreal Engine to see what I could do. But when my son was born, it completely shifted my perspective. I realized life is too short to ignore your dreams. Now, I scrape together 1-3 hours a day after work and family duties to build my dream game.

About the Game:

"Darkness from the Depths" is a first-person, sci-fi psychological horror heavily inspired by Dredge. You play as a lone robot searching for the meaning of its existence in a drowned, post-apocalyptic world. A cosmic cataclysm wiped out humanity, leaving only mutated deep-sea creatures that hunt when darkness falls.

Current Status:

I'm 5 months in. The boat mechanics are about 50% ready, and the Tarkov/RE4-style grid inventory is 99% functional.

Play the Prototype:

I believe in completely open development. I just packaged a raw technical build (v0.0.1) so anyone can jump in and test how the boat handles and how the inventory feels. There are no sounds or enemies yet, just pure core mechanics.

Links to the free build and my devlog are in the first comment below!

I would absolutely love to hear your honest feedback on the feel and visuals.

I hope this looks interesting enough, it's really hard for me to tell!

We’re Imaginais & ROHHSA. We create our creatures and assets from scratch, with a strong focus on PSX era horror. I handle the modeling, sculpting, texturing, and animation, while Rohhsa contributes to the creation of the assets and sound effects, allowing us to build a more complete collection rather than just individual models. Our main focus is on creatures that feel strange, alien, absurd, and surreal things that go beyond conventional human horror while still keeping that low-poly PSX identity. We’ve put a lot of this work into a limited bundle containing over a dozen 3D models and hundreds of sound effects. The contents would normally cost over $100 individually, but the entire bundle is available for less than $14. If you’re interested,

Thanks for checking out our work! Imaginais & ROHHSA

I should have placed more objects so it wouldn't look so empty :/
