Stalker is a game where players take on the role of a ghost in a haunted mansion, trying to scare off influencers before 5 a.m. The influencers, have entered the mansion believing it’s haunted, and their goal is to lower the ghost’s life gauge by surprising it. The ghost, meanwhile, must avoid detection and use a camera system to track the influencers' movements. This project started during an internship and I continued working with the team on my personal time.
