Haunted Mine

This was the final project I made for my VR Lab class at Shenandoah University. I was to make a short narrative for a VR experience made in Unreal Engine. I was to also make a mood board to go with what I had visioned to help assist with knowing the direction I wanted to go with the project. 

Backstory

My friends and I thought it would be fun to explore the supposedly haunted mines. Some great idea that was… Not long after we started exploring and goofing off things started to get..uh.. Strange? Chains hanging from the ceiling started to sway as if something bumped into them. An army of rats scurried past us as if something spooked them. We started hearing noises which sounded like whispers which quickly turned into screams. 

The mine shaft use to hold valuable metals centuries ago,  A literal “gold mine”, but became a graveyard after a portion of the miners got too greedy with the findings. One day the band of goons attempted to kill off the rest of the mining crew in order to split the profits of what the mine held. I hear it didn’t work out too well… A massive fight broke out and within the confusion no one was sure who was on whose side so they butchered each other with whatever was at hand in the shaft. Dynamite, chains even the very pickaxes that were stained with blood from all those months slaving away together. No survivors.

The thought of these strange occurrences happening being the work of vengeful spirits sent us into a panic. Not going to lie, I was one of them. We tried getting the hell out of here but must have lost our way. Charlie, who was taking the lead, just took a wrong turn and fell a great height. He’s not responding… We don’t have the gear to rescue him. The others ran off under the impression he’s dead but the ceiling between them and I collapsed and I have no idea of how to get out. I’m alone. Err I’d be more at ease if I was. The screams caught up. I’m not alone..
