Alone in the Dark (2024) - Notes and Clues

A small selection of all of the many(!) clues and notes I modeled and textured for Alone in the Dark (2024).

Clues and notes like these make up an essential part of any survival horror game, and it was extremely exciting to get to work on something so pivotal for the player experience, both in terms of story and aesthetics.
I put extra effort into making sure that all notes featured distinct handwriting for different characters, as well as small hints to their general mood while writing, such as them being calm, stressed, upset etc. All to provide some sort of visual storytelling through the notes you find.
These notes were produced in 3D to feature in realtime gameplay, and rendered for UI interaction.

With these assets I had a lot of room for improvisation, as the notes were mostly described in text rather than with concept art. I did however create quite a few based on art from our skilled concept artists as well!

Art Direction was provided by Rikard Ryberg.

The amazing team I had the pleasure of working with on this project include my fellow artists: Robin Koitzsch, Michelle Powell, Johan Segelstad, Rick Irvine, Linus Ferm, Marie Jockmans, Hampus Back and Gustav Pethrus.
