The first and second room are the entrance and main area of a sewer, I have covered them in various pieces of rubbish to show this. The rubbish on the floor leads the player towards the next areas, acting as stepping stones for them.

As the player moves through the level, lights will flicker to create tension and keep the player interested. At the end of the game, the player comes into a room surrounded by torches. When they approach the center, the lights go off. I used box triggers to make this happen.

The lighting for the level is extremely limited due to the player having a torch. The lighting provided in the map primarily comes from spotlights on the ceilings and, in the final room, point lights as torches.

To give the player a torch in-game, I attached a spotlight to the hand of the player model.

I imported three different footstep audio files and attached them to a random node then a modulator and then an output node. I then went into the animations for the player character, added audio notifies and selected the new footstep audio I had created.
