Project Description: Made for Jame Gam #40 by Limit Break 2024 mentees, coming together to practice our skills and apply them in a team setting.

The theme of the jam was 'Necromancy' and the special item we had to use in a prominent way was 'Needle'. We chose to go with both a sewing and syringe needle and use these items in a simple puzzle to bring the undead back to life.

• Audio implementation using and Audio Manager script.

• Importing premade assets and textures from Unity Asset Store to compliment the teams original artwork.
