The Ritual

The Ritual is a VR Puzzle Game with horror elements set in the 1920s.

Your friend Ray has gone missing in an abandoned mansion near your village. This is not the first time a person has gone missing in that house, but the police still refuse to investigate. So you set out to find and rescue him yourself, but after arriving at the mansion you are met with unexplainable and horrid sights.

As you explore the mansion you learn how to use ancient and dangerous magic. But the more you learn the more your grip on reality loosens; will you go insane? And can you rescue your friend before giving in to the madness?

Created as a 6th semester project at the University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt, Faculty of Media.
