Bartholomew.exe is a first person horror game that pits you against the titular character - Bartholomew in a cat and mouse chase gameloop. Be hunted by Barth during the Nightmare State and traverse the maze to scavenge for coins and buy weapon damage upgrades and traps until the DREAM STATE is reached. In the Dream State, you are the DANGER! Chase him and GET HIM with your trusty revolver and end him once and for all.

The development of the project began during beginning of March and it was in over in 31 hours and it was submitted to the Ukie Student Game Jam 2025 in which it won a Technical Achievement Award! After the game jam, me and my team continued further refinement of the project which began at the beginning of May and will still be on going until our highly anticipated release on Steam.

The role in my project was creating the atmosphere so I was working on the lights, post processing effects, fog and more to bring an immersive experience.

In terms of organisation, our team used Discord for communication and Trello for task management and Miro for brainstorming throughout the game jam and after it.
