Secrets in the Sand
A downloadable game for Windows
DESCRIPTION
In this online multiplayer coop adventure game for 2 players, each of you will take on the role of one of both twin sisters and collect as much gems as possible while solving intricate puzzles and avoiding lethal traps in order to progress and discover the mysteries of it's land. The 2 players will share resources, the adventure, and even their lives. That means that if one player dies, so does the other. Communication will be key.
The game was developed entirely by me using Unreal Engine 5 and can be quite demanding on old computers. Check the Requirements to know more about it. The music was also composed by me. The game is not 100% polished, but it's playable from beginning to end without major issues. If you encounter anything you can report it to: joaragonca+sssuport@gmail.com or leave me a comment down below.
IMPORTANT: you need to have the video game platform Steam open during the game. This is just a demonstration, but the final game will be available on Steam. That's why it uses it's online subsystem libraries and requires you to have it open during the session.
TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
To make tha most out of this experience, it is advisable that you and the other player use some kind of voice communication app or program like Discord.
It is recommended that if you play on a laptop you keep it connected and recharging to prevent some lag due to energy saving settings or that you change those. It is also recommended to close unnecessarily open programs to optimize the game's performance.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS:
I recommend: 1GB of free disk space, 16GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 or higher.
