The Shrine
A downloadable game for Windows
Description:
"The Shrine" is a story telling, walking simulator type horror game developed for the 2020 Epic Games MegaJam. The character walks through a part of the forest, owned by her family, in Midorigahara, while narrating the story of a Buddhist monastery in the same forest, owned by her grandfather, but resided by an unseen evil force. The narrator says that whatever haunts the monastery has been there for a long time, but she's not done yet!
Additional Note:
All the assets used in the game, except the buddhist monastery pack and horror engine, are from another ongoing Cava Games project.
This game was developed by one person in a time of mere 4 days (I was living under a rock and I found out that the Jam started 2 days after it started)
This game may have a lot of bugs and glitches, because it was made on a Laptop which isn't even considered a gaming laptop, and literally has a 940MX as GPU, and I also had Unreal crash on me several times while making this game. So, I apologize for that.
I wanted to add a longer story, but my laptop was barely holding it together while working on this game.
Voice Acting was done by my girlfriend who lives 7000+ miles away, so we had to use instagram to record and transfer the dialogues, so we're sorry about any glitches with the Dialogue system in the game.
System Requirements:
Well.. anything better than my laptop..
My Laptop's specs are:
i5 @2.50gHZ
940MX 4gb
16gb RAM
If you have a GPU better than mine, you're good to go:)
Controls:
Movement: W,A,S,D

New channel - new gameplay vid <3
So cool how the game starts soo quiet and calm... and then it's crazeeey. Very nice pace and intriguing story. I'd really love to see more!
This game is very beautiful and I look forward to a full release!
Thanks for playing my game:)
I really appreciate your review:)
As of now, I can't really make it into a full version since my laptop isn't that powerful enough, but I'll do my best:) make sure to follow me to stay updated about the progress.
Of course! And will definitely be following!
It's a nice interesting game. It's also interesting to have the back story told by the main character while the actual story played out. Nice touch on that. I look forward to this game.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
Thank you for playing my game:)
I wish to make it into a full length game, I already have a script for 8+ hours gameplay ready, just the fact that my hardware won't handle it is the only thing stopping me. I would've added more gameplay but Unreal Engine 4 crashed 17 times while making this, and it really slowed me down. That was one of the reasons why I had to remove the sprinting feature as to give the player atleast a few minutes of gameplay to go through the story.
hello. this was nice and relaxing up until there was rituals mentioned haha. Good game i hope this continues.
Thank you for playing my game:)
I tried making some good visuals along with a peaceful walk through the forest till the nasty stuff comes on.
It's a fun game
I'm glad you liked it:)
Great job! It was starting so calm and relaxing... and then BOOM! Haha! I wanna see more!
Hello:)
Thanks for playing my game. I loved your reacting 😂. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I'm not really sure about a part 2, my laptop isn't that good, and Unreal Engine had crashed over 5 times while making this game. So if I'm able to buy a new laptop or something, I'll definitely make a 2nd part:))
Amazing game dev :D
Hello:)
Thanks for playing my game. I actually felt really good seeing the game run at such a good frame rate. My laptop (on which it was developed) can't even run it at 20fps. Thanks for posting a gameplay. I'm glad you liked it.
