Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**THE SURVEY? - Analog Horror Experience**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Emulate a retro **PS1 / VHS horror aesthetic**. Use a grayscale or desaturated color palette with a heavy film grain overlay, scanlines, and slight chromatic aberration (CRT effect) implemented via Three.js post-processing. * **The Room**: Create a small, claustrophobic 3D room. The camera is fixed in a first-person perspective, sitting at a desk. * **Desk Objects**: A laptop (center stage), a digital alarm clock (displaying a static time like 12:20 AM in bright red segments), a water bottle, and a Rubik's cube. * **Textures**: Use pixelated, low-resolution textures (point sampling) to enhance the retro feel. The walls should look like rough plaster or concrete. * **Laptop Screen**: This is the primary UI. It should be an emissive plane displaying simple white text on a black background ("The Survey?") and two interactable buttons ("YES" and "NO"). * **Lighting**: Use a single, dim spot-light focused on the laptop, leaving the corners of the room in darkness to create tension. Shadows should be sharp but pixelated if possible. * **Optimization**: Since this is mobile-first, keep geometry low-poly. The "grain" and "CRT" effects should be optimized shaders to ensure high FPS on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: A low, constant **ambient drone** or hum (like a computer fan or distant industrial noise) that creates unease. No melodic music. * **SFX**: * **Clicking**: A loud, mechanical keyboard sound or a mouse click sound when the user taps "YES" or "NO". * **Environment**: Occasional random sounds to startle the player (e.g., a floorboard creaking, a distant thump, the sound of breathing that gets slightly louder over time). * **Typing**: If text appears on the screen, use a retro computer typing sound effect. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: A "Point and Click" psychological horror quiz. * The laptop asks a series of increasingly disturbing or personal questions (e.g., "Are you alone?", "Do you feel safe?", "Can you see the corner behind you?"). * The player must tap "YES" or "NO" to proceed. * **Progression**: * **Phase 1**: Normal questions. * **Phase 2**: As the player answers, subtle environmental changes occur (e.g., the Rubik's cube moves slightly, the time on the clock changes rapidly, the light flickers). * **Phase 3 (Climax)**: The questions break the fourth wall. The "NO" button might disappear or move away from the finger. * **Ending**: A sudden "Jumpscare" visual (screen glitch or a face appearing) followed by the screen going black, or simply the laptop powering off abruptly. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** is preferred to mimic holding a phone like a datapad, or **Landscape** for a cinematic view. Let's default to **Landscape** to match the laptop screen aspect ratio. * **Touch Interactions**: * **Tap to Click**: Raycasting should be used. The user taps the screen to "click" the YES/NO buttons on the 3D laptop. * **Camera Sway**: Implement a very subtle "gyroscope-like" parallax effect where the camera moves slightly based on mouse/touch position to give a sense of presence, but don't allow full movement (the player is tied to the chair). * **Feedback**: * **Haptics**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) every time the player presses a button. * **Visual Feedback**: The buttons on the laptop screen should visually depress or flash when tapped. * **UI Sizing**: Ensure the "YES" and "NO" buttons on the 3D laptop screen are large enough to be easily tappable on a small mobile screen. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
