Chuxie

Chuxie is a single-player first-person shooter that places the player in a highly atmospheric world built with Unreal Engine 5. The game uses a body-mounted camera perspective to simulate the look and feel of real-life tactical footage, combined with high-fidelity sound design and realistic environments. As a paranormal investigator, players are dropped into isolated, threatening locations to track, identify, and destroy demonic threats hidden in the dark corners of forgotten places. The immersive design encourages tension through audio cues, limited lighting, and unpredictable encounters.

Supernatural Threat and Tense Exploration

Players are assigned the role of a lone investigator who specializes in tracking paranormal disturbances. During one mission, the protagonist uncovers evidence of growing demonic activity—monstrous entities breeding within hidden “eggs” scattered across an abandoned location. Each of these “eggs” serves as a source of incoming disaster if not destroyed in time. As the player explores each zone, clues must be gathered to identify locations of infestation and unravel the logic behind their spawning. Every movement feels risky, as unknown dangers lurk just beyond the flashlight’s reach.

Mechanics and Core Gameplay Features

Chuxie features a series of layered mechanics designed to enhance tension rather than direct combat. Players are encouraged to be cautious, conserve resources, and remain aware of their surroundings as they explore and investigate. Ammunition is scarce, puzzles guard progression, and the player’s tools are limited to what can be carried and found along the way. The game’s physics system adds weight to both movement and weapon use, amplifying the challenge of encounters with supernatural enemies.

Key gameplay elements include:

·         First-person body camera system simulating realistic camera angles

·         Free-aiming and ADS mechanics with dynamic hand and weapon animations

·         Sound design emphasizing spatial positioning and environmental echoes

·         Damage system with realistic enemy responses to impact

·         Puzzles that require players to combine logic and exploration

·         Strategic use of light and environmental interaction to progress

Horror Through Detail and Restraint

Rather than overwhelming the player with constant action, Chuxie builds its horror through slow pacing, silence, and visual detail. The setting is minimalistic but dense with meaning—blood trails, scratched walls, and unnatural shadows hint at the presence of something wrong. Every encounter with a monster feels like an interruption in the suffocating quiet, and even when no enemies are visible, the game maintains pressure through tension and suspicion. The body camera view adds a sense of helplessness, making it difficult to see threats approaching from the side or behind.
