The Caretaker (The Shining Inspired Horror Game)

Hey Everyone! I’m so excited to finally be able to show the map for my new game The Caretaker. The game takes place at The Overlook Hotel which is from the movie The Shining. This project started almost two years ago and I’m glad I can finally release a preview version.

This version of the game only has one mode unlocked called “Showcase” which just shows the map. I am currently looking for testers for the other modes. If this interests you please contact me! I’m open to any feedback on the game and would love to hear everyone’s thoughts.

It can be played here: The Shining Showcase - Roblox

The Game looks very Interesting from the photo. If you want this to be a horror game, you could try to add an dark ambient but not too intense (color correction). Iin rest, the map looks amazing!

Thank you! One of the futures for the nonshowcase modes is for the lights to go out so hopefully, that should make the scene spookier. (Also there’s a flashlight)

This looks stunning! I love the way you designed the game and I’m sure it will be a success once it is released.

Glad you like it! I’m trying to release it asap but making the game fun for both teams has been very difficult.

I like it =)

Big environments with an imminent threat are sure scary. Maybe it’s because it’s so disorienting… also unfamiliar.

I’ve also written a topic on tips for horror games. It might help.

I’m also working on some cool blood effects that are going to be pretty fear-inducing if you run into a ghost.

For Sure! Let me know if you’d like to test some early features.

Nice showcase, love the static grain effect.
To make the game more immersive, change the “RollOffMode” of any sound areas to linear. I’ve noticed the sound, when entering and leaving a certain area, doesn’t fade in/out and is constant.
Great game so far, keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback! Fixing the sound was something I wanted to do for a while but had no idea how to do it under modern Roblox tools. Glad you like the game so far!

I’m interested in how matchmaking will work on multiplayer :upside_down_face:
Will it use a UI or lobby?
I’m also interested in future updates as more Roblox graphics features are released.

I’m not sure about multiplayer yet, but in terms of graphics, I think I will continue to add details as long as everything can run somewhat smoothly.

Decided to release the project as a showcase. The Shining Showcase - Roblox
