Mara is a prototype of an adventure game in first person made with Unreal Engine 5.
You play a buddhist monk trying to purify a cursed temple. Tormented by a demon and by grief, you progressively lose your mind but you have to keep your ideas clear if you want to stay alive.

Here was the original plan of the level design
The character awakes in a spacious room with a central altar (his objective is to reunite 4 objects on the altar)
He is chased by the demon who pushes him into the first area where he discovers that the achitecture is illogical, but somehow has to find his path to the first object
As he finds his way and get the first object, he is beamed to the altar, puts the object on it, which has the effect of opening the second area
He has to repeat this loop four times to finish the game.
As the player progresses, the demon attacks more often and more aggressively, until a final pursuit where it chases the player to stop him from getting the final object
With an uncommon gameplay comes an uncommon level structure, such as this plan from one of the areas
