Gameplay Mechanics
The core gameplay of Spooky Street Scream revolves around exploration, puzzle-solving, and survival horror elements. Players must navigate through dark environments while managing their fear meter, which increases when encountering supernatural entities.
Key Features:
Fear System: The game tracks your fear level through heart rate monitoring (using your device's sensors) and visual/audio cues. When fear gets too high, your movement becomes erratic, and you're more likely to trigger jump scares.
Puzzle Integration: Many horror elements are tied to solving traditional Indian puzzles. For example, you might need to arrange Rangoli patterns correctly to ward off spirits or solve riddles based on Hindi proverbs.
Multiplayer Mode: The "Bhoot Bangla" mode lets you team up with friends to survive haunted house challenges together, combining cooperative gameplay with competitive scoring.
"The best part is how it uses things we grew up hearing about from our grandparents. The Chudail (witch) chasing me felt so real because I'd heard similar stories as a kid!" - Rohan P., Mumbai
