Make a Retro Horror Game From Scratch in Unity — FULL COURSE | Part 1
Welcome to Part 1 of my full step-by-step course on making a retro horror game from scratch.
In this series, we're going to build an entire PS1-style retro horror game from the ground up, starting with a completely new Unity project and eventually taking the game all the way to publishing it on itch.io.
The game we're making is called BAYMAX — The Mad Dog.
It has its own story, and I'll explain the story and the idea behind the game throughout the course.
This isn't just a tutorial where we make a few mechanics and stop. We're going through the actual process of building a complete game, step by step.
🎮 WHAT WE'RE MAKING
BAYMAX — The Mad Dog
A retro-inspired horror game with a creepy story, PS1-style visuals, VHS aesthetics, and an increasingly unsettling atmosphere.
By the end of the course, we'll have a complete game that can be published and played on itch.io.
🧩 PART 1 — WHAT WE'LL DO
In this first part, we start building the foundation of the game.
We'll:
• Create our new project in Unity Hub
• Add an FPS Controller using Unity Standard Assets
• Improve the player's movement and make it feel smoother
• Add Cinemachine to our project
• Connect Cinemachine to our FPS controller
• Add smoother camera movement and a more natural head-bob effect
• Add a VHS-style camera effect to give the game that old-school horror look
• Go over the story behind BAYMAX — The Mad Dog
And this is only the beginning.
As the course continues, we'll keep building the game step by step until we have a complete retro horror game ready to publish.
