During the creation of these levels I was tasked with creating two game mechanics and designing a level around them. The two chosen mechanics were Item Snapping and the use of a Lever System to expose hidden passages. The level that I created is set in and around an abandoned mansion. The player has been hired by a wealthy individual to make their way into the mansion's upstairs office and retrieve a valuable hard drive which was left behind.
