Assignment Due

Overview

Assignment Due is a 3D survival horror game developed by a student team from Asia Pacific University (Year 2, Semester 2). Set within a university campus, the game captures the high-stakes pressure of student life where a simple birthday prank turns into a race against time.

The player takes on the role of a student who must recover their scattered belongings—a laptop, charger, USB, and mouse—and complete a final assignment before the looming deadline. However, the university is no longer a safe haven; a rigorous school guard patrols the halls, and as time slips away, the atmosphere shifts from a tense stealth mission into a psychological nightmare.

Key Features

Tense Stealth Gameplay: Navigate the school corridors, using lockers to hide and fire alarms to distract the patrolling guard.

Dynamic Horror Elements: After five minutes, the environment and the guard begin to transform, increasing the psychological tension as the deadline approaches.

Interactive Mechanics: Use line tracing to interact with doors, lockers, and hidden notes that provide critical hints for survival.

Two Unique Levels:

Level 1 – The Scavenger Hunt: Explore the first floor of the school to find your missing computer parts within a 10-minute time limit. Solve riddles, unlock doors with passcodes, and manage a limited inventory to secure all items at the guardhouse.

Level 2 – The Final Submission: Locked in the guardhouse, you must repeatedly press the 'F' key to fill your assignment's progress bar. Your location is fixed, and the only way to win is to submit the work before the guard reaches you.
