The VR game project "Memento" for the Game Engine 3 course at Humber College in 2023 revolves around the protagonist Diana, a college student haunted by her idyllic childhood memories. Set in a virtual environment, players navigate through four levels within Diana's subconscious, unraveling the mystery behind her entrapment in a nostalgic but painful past. As players progress, they collect clues that shed light on Diana's predicament and ultimately help her confront the truth buried within her subconscious mind.

In addition to exploring Diana's emotional journey, "Memento" serves as a poignant exploration of familial relationships and the lasting impact of unresolved grief. Through immersive storytelling and gameplay mechanics, players are invited to delve deep into Diana's psyche, confronting their own perceptions of reality and the complexities of human emotion.

In my role within the project, I was tasked with various responsibilities, including level design, gameplay mechanics implementation, and VR environment optimization using the Unity game engine. Through hands-on experience and collaboration with my peers, I gained valuable insights into the intricacies of VR game development and honed my skills in Unity programming and design. Moreover, working on "Memento" provided me with a deeper understanding of storytelling in virtual environments and the importance of creating immersive experiences that resonate with players on an emotional level. Overall, the project not only enriched my technical capabilities but also deepened my appreciation for the power of interactive storytelling in gaming.
