Ghaib 2012
Project Description
Ghaib (adj.) - unseen, intangible, related to spritual things. Indonesian word of Arabic origin.
A man must look for his sister after a car accident, but terrifying spirits hinder his path. He fights back by reading the Quran - the Holy Book of Islam. This first-person horror game uses speech recognition and is played with a microphone in addition to the standard mouse+WASD. Verses from the Quran can be made to appear when enemies pursue, and when a verse is successfully read into the Quran the evil spirits writhe and take damage.
Project Details
- Windows XP to 7
- The game is entirely in Indonesian
- Covered by a provincial (statewide) newspaper and several Indonesian news sites with nationwide coverage
- Home page: ghaibthegame.wordpress.com (in Indonesian)
Role
Largely a solo project with some on/off help, I did the entire programming necessary and made the 3D models of the characters and ghosts. Also did level design.
