overview
Umbra is a first-person immersive experience that places the user inside a cryosleep facility aboard a deep-space vessel. Designed around environmental storytelling rather than dialogue, the project explores how lighting, spatial composition, interaction, and cinematic pacing can communicate narrative and guide player curiosity.
approach
The project began by designing the emotional journey before building the environment. Each space was planned around moments of discovery, using composition, color contrast, environmental props, and interactive elements to encourage exploration. Rather than relying on exposition, the experience communicates story through atmosphere and player observation.
