Angel Maker

"Dagmar Johanne Amalie Overby (23 April 1887 – 6 May 1929) was a Danish serial killer. She murdered between 9 and 25 children – of which one was her own – during a seven-year period from 1913 to 1920. On March 3, 1921, she was sentenced to death in one of the most noted trials in Danish history"

Angel Maker is a first person horror game which is set in Copenhagen in 1916. The game is loosely based on the story of Dagmar Johanne Amalie Overby one of the most notorious serial killers in the history of Denmark. She would adopt and take care of unwanted children from the ones who could pay for it and would then kill the children and make up excuses for their sudden disappearance. For these terrible acts of cruelty she was given the name "Englemagersken" (The Angel Maker).

The player finds themselves in the role of Dagmars handyman who has been given the opportunity to to assist Dagmar in her everyday needs and simple tasks, unknowing of the horrors that take place in her home. The player must solve puzzles and look for clues to uncover what transpires around them and uncover the truth of Dagmars crimes. 

The game was made in three months time as a bachelors project at The Royal Danish Academy (KADK) for the Game & Interaction design program in 2019.  There are currently no plans to make any further updates. The project explores the use of non-Euclidean level design and what effect it has on the player experience.
