"Rabbit Souls'' is a unique blend of various genres, with its core built on the pillars of stealth, strategy, and turn-based gameplay.

This game was developed in 3 weeks by a small team of 12 for a school project.
Rabbit Souls features I worked on
The Enemy Patrol
I made a script that includes a list of x and y values that the enemy will follow in-game. This list is very flexible to use in unity and you can easily change and add the patrol points of the enemy.
The Enemy Vision
The red tiles in front of the enemy shows the enemies vision. If the player walks inside the enemy’s vision he gets detected, and the tile that the player gets detected in will turn yellow.
A “Select tile”-marker for the player indicators
When you hover the mouse over the indicators of the player it shows a marker on the current tile. When you click on a tile the marker stays, but you still have the possibility to click on another tile and change the currently marked tile.
The Camera Script
I made a script for the camera that follows the player, but if you are in a certain range from the enemy the camera centers between the player and the enemy. There is a list in this script that constantly gets updated on what enemies are close enough to the player, and the camera finds the center point between the player and the enemies in this list. To find the center point, I used something Unity calls “Bounds”. It forms a rectangle around the player and the enemies, and its edges updates depending on the position of the objects. The function then returns the center point of this bound where the camera then is positioned.
The Main Menu
The menu contains the basic buttons. A play button that starts the game, an option menu which includes a volume slider, and a credits screen where it shows all the people included in the making of this game.
Level Complete
Shows each time you have completed a level. It displays the amount of turns the player has spent during the game.
Player Detected
Shows each time the player has been detected. Also displays the amount of turns, and has a main menu, and a restart-button.
