Death Mystery

In Project Short Burn, we created a first-person puzzler. The game is set between 1850 and 1920, and the story revolves around a murder where the killer attempts to keep their crime hidden by concealing everything behind puzzles.
In Project Short Burn, I served as the Scrum Master, facilitating discussions to ensure that everyone's ideas were heard until we collectively agreed on one game concept. I created two puzzles: TiltBox and ConnectWires. Additionally, I developed the interaction system to provide a consistent experience throughout the game. I also spent a significant amount of time fixing bugs and updating the models for all the puzzles, which led to some issues with a few of them.
