I’d like to present my one-man development project, Past Due: Midnight, a psychological first-person horror game.
Past Due: Midnight has just been revealed on Steam:
along with its official announcement trailer:
An ordinary evening of overtime turns into a nightmare. You awaken at midnight, trapped in your office - but it’s no longer the place you recognize. Follow clues, solve puzzles, and interact with your surroundings - using whatever you can to push forward. As you progress, piece together the phantom story unfolding across the office’s abandoned floors. Can you survive the night and escape alive?
What’s the scope going to be like? For a narrative, cinematic title like this, it would be nice to have some voice acting, cutscenes and a solid score… all of which require their own skillsets.
I don’t always love horror games, but this game looks great. Really well done. Love the lighting, sound design and models. The controls look good.
A good way to find voice actors is to look on the message boards of game jams (past and present). There are often really good voice actors looking to join jams. Obviously for a project like this you should pay them, but people trying to establish themselves will be cheaper.
