About
Overview
ASTROLAPSE, a survival game that addresses the common issues of monotony and repetitive tasks in the genre.
Problem
Survival games, while immersive and thrilling, often suffer from monotony due to repetitive tasks such as resource gathering and challenge completion. Players can become trapped in a cycle lacking meaningful variation, which diminishes their motivation to continue playing.
Design Challenge
Design a game that addresses repetitiveness, ensuring sustained engagement from players over extended periods, and keep them coming back for more without ever feeling bored or tired?
Soultion
A sci-fi survival game set in a futuristic world where players must navigate a hostile planet, collect spaceship parts, and battle monsters to return to Earth. However, as they venture further, they experience hallucinations, blurring the lines between friend and foe, adding a psychological challenge to survival.
