A utopian city powered by the Svart Diamant energy drive is sealed off by a mysterious anomaly known as The Shimmer. Using cutting-edge telepathic drone control, you are among the first to explore its abandoned ruins and uncover the truth. But the link between mind and machine is fragile—losing connection could mean losing yourself.

Due to external circumstances, I had to make a difficult decision and cancel Peryferia’s development. Since a lot of work was put into this project, I decided to share the idea anyways.

Peryferia is a short survival horror game in which you control a computer to gather information and resources from a quarantined area. While light on horror and leaning more on the atmosphere, the game’s unique control scheme and setting create an unforgettable experience that can be completed in one sitting. However, the game’s knowledge-based approach to puzzles and exploration inclines several playthroughs.

Key features:

Unique control scheme
Control computer to control drone
Retro aesthetics that are homage to early adventure computer games
Mysterious atmosphere that will keep you on the edge of the seat
World inspired by modern Eastern European history, folklore, and architecture
Bitesize gameplay that can be finished in one sitting
Knowledge-based puzzles that require many playthroughs

Synopsis:

Hidden deep in the southwestern region of Poland, Odra Electronics founded its utopian city. Powered by the innovative Svart Diamant energy drive, the complex rapidly emerged as a leader in innovation and progress. While presenting a new clean energy system, an incident occurred that severed the complex from the rest of the world. An electromagnetic cloud, known as "the shimmer," grew over the city, preventing any attempts to enter the complex.

A dome was constructed over the city to contain the spread of the shimmer, but all efforts to investigate the complex yielded no results—until now. A new method of drone control, utilizing telepathic links between the operator and the drone, has allowed access to the complex. You are among the first to explore it freely. The catch is that if the connection between the drone and the controller is severed during an active link, the controller's brain suffers severe damage, often leading to death.
