Sandy's Last Song

Sandy's Last Song is a game about sneaking into a haunted church. Primarily an atmospheric story-based experience, it contains light horror elements. I do hope it scares you though. This was made for a game jam, and it takes 5-10 minutes to play. There are two endings.

This was made over two weeks as part of the Matt Aspland Enigma Game Jam. The theme was supernatural, and I had already been thinking about making a ghost story. So the stars aligned and I dove in. Two weeks isn't a long time, but I'm happy with what I came up with. I'm excited about the ideas here and am considering turning this into a longer game.

I made this game with Unreal Engine 5.1.1. This was my first time making something tangible with it, and I ran into a lot of performance issues due to Lumen. People with 4090s and 3090s experienced super low frame rates. So I ended up disabling Lumen, and its related features, and reverting to a traditional baked lighting approach. This resulted in a much better experience overall.

I've recently started posting regular videos on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/geoffalday. I've made a few small horror games in the past. Now I'm working on a longer one that I plan to publish on Steam. Follow along as I make the journey from game idea to launch!

Thanks!
