White Silence

White Silence is a short atmospheric experience built in Unreal Engine 5, focused on exploration and subtle narrative delivery.

Set in a cold, dark forest, the player begins with simple survival goals — finding warmth, food, and shelter — while gradually uncovering fragments of a deeper story through the environment.

The project was developed over several months, with a focus on core systems such as saving/loading, quest flow, environmental and audio transitions, and localization (EN/UA).

Genre: Survival Horror

Platforms: Windows/macOS

Time Duration: 2.5 months
