About This Game

The Entity Within is a 3D mystery-horror sci-fi experience set aboard a deep-space vessel where every choice matters—and where danger rarely comes from where you expect it. The game unfolds across two chapters, each placing you in a different role with unique perspectives, responsibilities, and threats. Your decisions shape branching story paths, determine how events unfold, and lead to multiple endings—some tense, some surprising, and some deadly.

Chapter 1 – The Captain’s Dilemma

You take command as the ship’s captain when an unknown spacecraft suddenly appears on your scanners. Your crew looks to you for guidance, but not everything aboard your vessel is as stable as it seems. Chapter 1 features three distinct endings shaped entirely by the actions you take.

Chapter 2 – The Cleaner’s Descent

Step into the shoes of a maintenance worker who witnesses a strange phenomenon emerging from the cargo bay. With no clear explanation and rising danger spreading through the ship, you must choose your path: escape, seek help, or confront the unknown. This chapter delivers five possible endings and multiple ways your character can meet their fate.

Across both chapters, you will face unnerving encounters, shifting atmospheres, and threats that stalk you in the shadows. Crew members may not always behave as you expect, and the line between safety and danger can change in an instant.

Key Features

• Two fully playable story chapters, each with a unique protagonist and perspective.

• Branching narrative with 8 total endings and several ways to die.

• Decision-driven gameplay where your choices shape characters, events, and outcomes.

• 3D first-person exploration aboard a detailed deep-space vessel.

• Psychological sci-fi horror filled with mystery, tension, and unexpected twists.

• Atmospheric encounters where something may be hunting you—and not every crewmember can be trusted.

Origins – From Game Jam Experiment to Full Experience

This project originally began as an entry in the Yogscast Game Jam 2020, where the theme was “Surprise”. The early version of the game embraced the theme fully, delivering unexpected shifts in tone, perspective, and gameplay. Despite being created under intense time pressure, the prototype received enthusiastic and memorable feedback, including:

• “All 3 endings done! Fun and quite a surprise :)”

• “This was… quite an experience. Still confused :D”

• “Definitely fits the surprise theme!”

• “Well I’m very confused. Mission accomplished on the surprise front! :D”

• “Fun, funny, interesting, good game.”

• “It was like a dream. You got a laugh out of me.”

• “Interesting premise and with more time I can see something great.”

These reactions helped shape the game’s expanded version—keeping the spirit of unpredictability and surreal tension while evolving into a richer, more polished sci-fi horror narrative.
