Monthly Developer Review (MDR) - Captive: You Are My Idol

Captive: YAMI is a deception thriller horror game that utilizes Cutievirus' MZ3D plugin to create a transformative 2D to 3D (and back) experience. One portion of the game finds the player face-to-face with their kidnapper during dinner. Another portion has them sneaking around and solving the Puzzle Cube. Note: the movie contains exclusive post-release content at the end. Developed from Jan-Sept 2024.

(Watch on YouTube for the best experience)

Using MZ3D to Make a Kidnapper Horror | Ep 1 - The Concept

Can Cutievirus' MZ3D plugin be used to create a transformative horror game? I'm creating a kidnapper horror and using 3D to bring the player into the uncanny valley.

9:45

Would you deceive your kidnapper? Or secretly plot your escape? In this deception-thriller horror, you play as Aylen, who's been kidnapped by her "#1 fan." I also created a super cool timeline to allow players to jump into different nights and attempt different choices :)

There's lots of good, some bad, and tons of ugly. However, ugly is subjective, so you tell me. Would you consider it bad? Or just a minor setback.
