Crypt Raider

Puzzle-Adventure Gameplay Prototype (Unreal Engine 5)

About the Project

Crypt Raider is a small puzzle-adventure gameplay prototype created in Unreal Engine 5.
The project focuses on player interaction, environmental puzzles, and progression design, with an emphasis on clear feedback and readable puzzle structure.

This prototype was developed as a learning and portfolio project, with the main goal of exploring gameplay systems design and implementation rather than visual polish.

Gameplay

The player explores a crypt environment and progresses by solving spatial and logic-based puzzles.

Core gameplay includes:

• Exploring the castle
• Interacting with objects (puzzle elements) and doors
• Unlocking new areas
