Crimson Hours

Crimson Hours is a single-player first-person psychological horror game set inside an abandoned hospital overtaken by a mysterious outbreak. Guided only by a voice over your radio, you'll explore dark hallways, complete objectives, and survive whatever lurks within the building.

You are a newly deployed agent sent on your very first assignment. The mission seems straightforward: investigate the hospital and eliminate the infected. As you descend deeper into the facility, strange events begin to unfold. The voice guiding you never hesitates, but with every order you follow, the line between duty and morality becomes harder to distinguish. In Crimson Hours, survival isn't the only thing being tested-it's your trust in the person giving the orders.

Development

Crimson Hours was developed over the course of one week as a team project. From the beginning, our goal was to create a horror experience that relied on atmosphere and psychological tension rather than constant jump scares. We focused on making the player question their surroundings through environmental storytelling, voice-guided objectives, and a growing sense of uncertainty as the story progressed.

Throughout development, our team worked across programming, level design, lighting, audio, and art while managing a tight production schedule. As new ideas emerged, we continually refined our mechanics and pacing to create a more immersive experience. Features such as fully voiced dialogue, subtitles, interactive objectives, enemy AI, cinematic sequences, and atmospheric lighting all came together to bring the hospital to life.

Although there were challenges and time constraints, the project gave us valuable experience collaborating as a team, managing tasks through GitHub, and building a complete narrative-driven horror game from concept to completion.
