About the Game

In Corporeal began as a game jam project that ranked 11th out of 950 entries—praised for its unique mechanic, thoughtful level design, and strong atmosphere. The Steam version is a complete ground-up reimagining, built from scratch and expanded into a commercial release.

This version keeps the soul of the original concept, but overhauls every system to deliver a polished, responsive, and narratively rich experience.

Key Development Features

🧠 Reprogrammed from Scratch

The entire game codebase was rewritten, including a robust, modular character controller that supports:

• Separate physics tuning for human and ghost states

• Features like wall jumping, manual revive, vertical flight, and contextual movement restrictions

• Inspector-driven debugging and ability toggles (e.g., CanManualRevive, HasVerticalFlight) for flexible testing and iteration

💡 Evolved Light Mechanics

The original jam concept—using light to return from ghost form—now includes:

• Raycast-based obstruction detection, allowing players to manipulate the environment (e.g., push blocks or use moving platforms) to cast or block light

• Puzzle design that blends movement, timing, and light interactions for strategic play

🎥 Cinematic Systems

• Cinemachine-powered dynamic cameras with context-aware framing and transitions

• Timeline-driven cutscenes with fully controllable sequences and effects

• Seamless in-game narration integrated into gameplay, blending story and challenge

💾 Save & Load System

• Checkpoint-based and persistent saving

• All acquired abilities and game progress retained across sessions

🎙️ Fully-Voiced Story

• Rich, introspective narrative brought to life by voiced monologues and conversations

• Dual-character performance dynamically reacting to player progress and game mechanics

• The narrative screenplay (40+ pages) explores themes of recovery, self-confrontation, and accountability
