Shrinkers
A downloadable project for Windows and macOS
You play as a poor wee fella that just wants their house back.
Set to the soundscape of a real Sunday night in Edinburgh, you must obey the demands of the ominous force that is holding your property hostage in another dimension... or something. Be harassed by self-checkouts, listen to the radio, and experience the sounds of Cowgate without the sights (thankfully)!
Can be played to completion in around 7-10 minutes!
This was developed as a "walking simulator" for my Sound Design MSc degree using Unity and Wwise. It is primarily a sound experience, visual fidelity and technical competency with Unity was not part of my marking criteria. Be warned, for your own health, please look with your ears rather than your eyes!

Install instructions
Windows: The executable (Shrinkers.exe) should work straight away.
Mac: If it doesn't run initially, it's because Unity does not include access rights when building on a Windows PC, I think. Either way, this fix will probably work...
- Open Terminal
- Type the following: cd Shrinkers.app/Contents/MacOS
- Then type: chmod +x Shrinkers
- Run the app again, if it is restricted again it will likely be in something like System Settings > Privacy and Security > allow app to run etc.
