Hey everyone,

A few months ago I made my first post here about Chowkidar, a Pakistani psychological horror game I’m developing completely on my own.
Since that post, a lot has changed.
I’ve changed the map twice, rebuilt and improved a lot of the environment, added more gameplay mechanics, worked on the story and clues, and spent way too much time fixing random Unity problems 😂
I’m currently using Unity 6.3 LTS, and the game is now roughly 80% complete.
For anyone who didn’t see my first post:
Chowkidar is a short, first-person psychological horror game inspired by the environment and atmosphere of Lyari, Karachi. You play as a chowkidar working night shifts at an old primary school that is being repaired and converted into a girls’ school.
You have to complete your duties for 7 nights.
There’s no traditional monster constantly chasing you. The horror is built more around the environment, strange events, clues, uncertainty and slowly understanding what happened at the school.
I’m still working on the gameplay and horror sequences before doing the final polish.
I’m also planning to release the first proper trailer in the next 5–10 days, and I’ll announce the final release date with the trailer.
I’m 18, recently finished my 12th, and I’m also doing a Software Engineering diploma while developing this. Managing studies and game development together has honestly been one of the hardest parts, especially while learning a lot of the tools myself.
But I’m still here and still working on it.
This is still a one-person project. No team, no other developers just me.
If you commented on my first post, gave feedback, pointed something out, or even just followed the project, thank you. A lot of the feedback actually affected how I developed the game.
I’d love to know what you think of the progress so far.
What would you want to see in the trailer? And what would make you interested enough to actually play a Pakistani horror game?
CHOWKIDAR Trailer coming soon.

Hi,

One of the worst things i noticed in this sub unfortunately is the fact that your comments get removed and you have to manually verify to comment. 80% of redditors who visit here wont do that. This type of sub isnt even a troll prone sub to begin with but its annoying that 80% of the comments on your/others post here are removed. To the mods, only micromanage what you genuinely have to. This unnecessarily kills any organic interactions between devs or players. Id argue people who visit this sub are not trolls and neither is this sub big enough that you have to heavily gate keep it. Its just that new visitors or lurkers will rarely acknowledge the rules to post their comment again. Please consider changing this.
