MY LEVELS DESIGN
Level 02: Into The Void
The level opens with a large outdoor area offering multiple routes and introducing the Wall Run mechanic. As players progress, the environment gradually transitions into tight, windowless corridors, creating a strong contrast that reinforces a growing sense of tension and oppression.
Level 03: Raging Sea
Set in large open environments, this level emphasizes visibility and increased enemy presence. Multiple routes lead toward the objective, encouraging exploration and player choice. However, every path comes with its own risks, as a single misstep can send the player into the raging sea below.
Level 04: Laboratories
Players begin at the highest point of the level, where verticality plays a key role in both navigation and combat. As they progressively descend toward the lowest point, the journey takes on a symbolic meaning, reflecting the protagonist's downward spiral as he steals, destroys, and eliminates everything standing in his way.
