Derelict Mystery

VR Gameplay Video Available -->

Created for DES350 Game Art and Engines.  Derelict Mystery is an experience inspired by the Moon tarot card.  It can be played in Virtual Reality with motion controllers (probably only works for OculusVR, sorry) OR you can play it traditionally with a keyboard and mouse.   In Derelict mystery you play as the lone surviving pilot of a mysterious event which wiped out the rest of your fleet.  In this experience you can pilot a starship to help you explore.  You can use your star ship to explore a field of ice asteroids surrounding an unknown planet.  Among them you will find derelict star ships from your former fleet.  Explore these derelicts to discover technology modules.  Pick them up and take them back to your ship to uncover the mystery of the destruction.

Thank you for taking a look at my experience!  :)
