Project Summary
Natural Killer Cell draws inspiration from older FPS action games like Doom and Half-life. It's set on a remote, off-world, colony which one day is attacked by unknown alien creatures and it is up to the player to figure out a way to stop them.
The project was created as part of the last large game project course at Stockholm University

Game Outline & Pillars
In Natural Killer Cell you play as Elsa, a combat trained scientist on a offworld planet on her way to work when the facility is shaken and attacked by unknown alien creatures. It is up to you to get through the aliens and figure out how to stop them.
The game is a straight forward shooter with no extraordinary mechanics outside the basic movement, shooting, crouching and jumping. It attempts to capture the feel that older shooters such as Doom or early Source engine games gave as well as trying to get some comedic and light hearted elements in.
