Immersion

Everything inside this horror game has been studied in order to improve player’s immersion. Nothing in the game makes the player think what he’s seeing is not real:

• The main character’s body is visible in-game and follows the player’s movements where possible
• All the UI is located on the character’s gear
• The environment is enclosed and NPCs refer directly to the player

Investigation

The main focus of the LIZ experience orbits around the events occurred in the building where the main character investigates. Liz has to investigate environments using advanced tools supported by her drone, B-4, in different ways.

Shooting

While Liz investigates on location, people working there attack her. The threats must be managed with the utmost firmness to avoid compromising the mission. Violence must be contained in order to complete the mission. Liz has a weapon supplied, a handgun, and she will use it to defend herself.Sometimes It’s not so easy to get rid of threats: sometimes you have to cover a wounded ally or escort a survivor and you’re not the only one to defend.
