Gloam - Silhouette Puzzle Platformer Template

Overview:

In Gloam, a boy awakens in a mist-shrouded forest and must find his way through a perilous world of traps, machinery, and shifting terrain. Guide him across rivers, climb ledges and ladders, and use swinging ropes to navigate each obstacle.

This dark silhouette puzzle-platformer combines physics-driven movement with environmental puzzles and deadly hazards. Reach checkpoints, learn from each attempt, and uncover secrets as you make your way from the forest toward a sepia-toned factory.

Features:

• Physics-based side-scrolling movement with running, walking, jumping, coyote time, and fall damage
• Automatic ledge grabs and climbs, ladders, swingable ropes, and push-and-pull interactions
• Procedural character animation with distance-driven gait cycles and two-bone IK
• Ragdoll death reactions with optional dismemberment
• Checkpoint-based puzzle resets, saved progress, found secrets, and a Continue option
• Hazards including bear traps, crushers, saw blades, falling logs and boulders, spikes, and collapsing terrain
• Interactive puzzles with levers, pressure plates, trip wires, gates, lifts, and moving platforms
• Visual signal system connecting puzzle elements

• Silhouette presentation with parallax, depth fog, depth blur, mist, light shafts, film grain, and vignette
