A Way Out

A Way Out is a 3D comedy game created during Global Game Jam 2024 using Unreal Engine 5, where the theme was "Make Me Laugh." After brainstorming for hours at a barbecue restaurant, we decided to set the game in a restaurant as well — but with an absurd situation: the player is in a frantic rush to reach the restroom!

​

The character’s only means of movement became glaringly clear: a high-powered, gas-fueled fart propulsion system, which I later implemented. To add even more urgency, we needed a timer. In an interesting twist, I paired it with background music that sped up as the timer ran out, making the urgency intuitive and — surprisingly — fully invisible. In the end, the game was successfully showcased at the finale and received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback (laughters).
