Good day, Maksym!
I have been working with texts for over 8 years and specialize in creating unique plots and tasks for interactive projects. The horror genre is my first love as a writer and a special passion; I know how to build an atmosphere of mystique and psychological tension, immersing players in the plot so they can fully feel the presence "on the other side."
Proposed work plan:
Material analysis — watching the movie "Poltergeist" for a deeper immersion in the atmosphere and selecting thematic details that can become interesting elements, Easter eggs.
Script development — creating multi-step tasks that organically weave into a detailed plot and gradually build the atmosphere of fear and tension. I am considering writing two different endings for the quest participants.
Adaptation to technical capabilities — taking into account lighting, sound, and mechanical effects, recommendations for their use.
Discussion and agreement — working in a dialogue format with you so that each task is as unique, logical, and meets your expectations as possible.
… On my part, I guarantee you:
Originality of all tasks. No templates or borrowings.
Atmospheric — each riddle will not just be a mechanical step but a part of a living story.
Flexibility — readiness for discussion and making adjustments until the script fully aligns with your vision of the project.
I would be happy to collaborate and create a truly captivating quest for young people.
I suggest discussing the timeline and cost of the project individually.
