PNEUMA - Concept Demo

Pneuma is a third person fixed camera psychological horror game set in an alternate timeline where aristocracy has survived and thrived. You play as Annalise de Reyes, a high school student marred by an isolated childhood,  faced with a strange happening across campus where several people have disappeared recently. Unaware that the same events entwine with her personal struggles as she traverses the corridors of Reinhart academy.

This demo is a concept built to deliver some of the basic mechanics and flow of gameplay.  Although, there are scattered story beats across the demo the complete story is far from explored here.

 Gameplay and Mechanics:

•  Traversing through dark areas

You can use the bracelet on Annalise's wrist to temporarily illuminate surroundings however, it comes with a detriment to her health so use it wisely

• Old-school puzzles

A nod to our favorite games of old, as you wander across the campus you'll have to use your wits to solve the many puzzles scattered across to move forward. Careful though, a wrong choice may result in a catastrophe. 

Remember that every aspect of environment is built with a purpose so we encourage you to explore it thoroughly

• Combat Mechanics

As an early prototype we've still not been able to develop all mechanics however, the ones that we featured here are Block and Parry. 

When faced with confrontation, you can also use Annalise's bracelet to erect a shield to block incoming enemy attacks. 

Time it right and you'll be able to parry the attack, rendering the enemy in a stunned state while you make your escape. 

Remember, you can only block so many times. Parrying the attacks will reward your in more ways than one.

Hey there! a bit about our tale. We're a team of two guys from Pakistan who're lifetime video game nerds and decided to take their own stab at making a video game.

Pneuma started out as a concept sketch which we felt could be worth a game. Since none of us knew how to build a game its taken us 2 long years of learning, evolving the art style and with the help of a friend who was early into his game development career to  finally come up with something of a concept vision.  Sadly he had to part ways due to his work commitment and we're grateful for his help.

Its still a long way to go but we believe with enough support it could turn out to be a unique tale of its own some day. We want to build a decent team for which we don't have the funds to be honest. We've turned here to show what we have and if its worth your money we'd appreciate if you check this out and decide to support our effort. Cheers!!!
