SOMMAR
A downloadable game for Windows
"In the eerie silence of the Swedish wilderness, where the pale moon casts long, shadowy fingers over the landscape, you find yourself standing at the threshold of an abandoned summer house. The air is thick with unease, and the wind carries with it whispers of long-forgotten secrets. You have embarked on a harrowing journey to find your missing sister, who disappeared without a trace during a fateful visit to this desolate place.
Find her..."
SOMMAR is a short first person atmospheric horror game set in a Swedish summer cabin. The game was developed as a graduation project created during my final year as a masters' student at The Royal Danish Academy in 2022.
The aim for the project was to create higher quality and more immersive environments, where I wanted to challenge myself by using new software and techniques and explore level design and worldbuilding.
The games is made in Unity HDR pipeline, all 3D models are made in Blender and texturing is done with a combination of Substance Painter, Substance Designer and Photoshop.
The project started in January 2022 and was completed in June 2022 and was my final school project before graduating with an masters degree in game design.

Great demo!
Excellent
atmosphere!!This was really great! The atmosphere was perfect!
This game was very beautiful! I do wish there was atleast one jumpscare . I was waiting for one to get me lol overall really loved it. Wish it was longer ! Your game is third and starts at 20:35
Not gonna lie, it caught me off guard with crouching being shift! The entire time.. I was expecting a jumpscare a lot. I hope to see more of this game or more projects from you! This was nice & short! Here is my playthrough, with my final thoughts at the end! Hope you will enjoy!
Good Job
yeah atmosphere is nice, a jumpscare i was expecting but well done on it so far.
This was so cool! The attention to detail to make this feel like a run-down Swedish summer cottage was really impressive. Down to the cracking paint, the look of the furniture and the layout of the house. Childhood nostalgia turned eerie.
The lighting was used really well. I especially loved the look of the first hallway when you enter the cottage.
Very immersive, wish you luck with the project.
I walked around in a pretty house, good lighting, nothing really happening.
But "Prototype" should be written in bold letters somewhere, in this State more like an eerie Archviz.
Finished your game. Everything runs so smooth in HDRP. I Love the Swedish theme. Was that a can of Surströmming on the dinner table? :)
Wish you good luck with your project.
Your game is the second game in my video. Starts at 14:19
Not tryna be annoying or anything but in Sweden it's spelled "Surströmming". Just thought I'd let you know cuz we Swedes don't like when you mix up our language with Norwegian or Danish
Oh my. Are you happy now??
Thank you, glad you liked it
Its a great game, loved exploring it!
Thank you, glad you liked it!

For what this was, it was not bad! Definitely felt eerie throughout the game. Made a video on it.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Nice work :) Good atmosphere!
Thanks
Parabéns por saber usar a iluminação, o jogo é escuro mas consegui enxergar tudo perfeitamente sem lanterna, me orientar e resolver os puzzles. Estou jogando muitos jogos de terror nessa época e quase todos estão impossíveis de enxergar qualquer coisa. Fiquei feliz em jogar seu jogo!
Had to run by Google translate, but thank you
