The Warren is a spooky adventure game for the PC set in a large warren which the player needs to escape from before sunrise or be trapped there forever. The target audience is children aged 6-10 and the game aims to teach children some basic morals (such as helping others so they may help you in turn).

The intention for game play was to have a timer in the top right corner with a small controls reference box in the bottom left corner for the player to refer to if they can't remember the controls. This wasn't implemented due to difficulties with the UI scene editor in UDK. Other than that, the main gameplay is completed so the player can choose to either help the animals or ignore them to try and make their own way through.

The intention for narrative was to have different endings depending on how many animals the player helps (if all the animals are rescued they get the good ending, a few animals they get a mediocre ending, ignoring all the animals will give them the bad ending and failing to escape will give them the gameover ending). Due to my limitations with knowledge using UDK's Kismet I was unable to do this (though I do believe it could possibly be acheived using Booleans to activate the respective ending).

In all I believe more could be done with this project though the main gameplay is good and the controls simple for the audience it is for.

Most textures in The Warren created by me except the two below that belong to their respective owners.
