The Ritual

'The Ritual' is a third-person, 3D spooky and charming puzzle game developed by a team of Texas A&M University students as part of the 2023 Summer Industry Course.

The women-led team consisted of both grad and undergraduate students:

• Izzy Rollo
• Emmalie Hall
• Kaylyn Luna
• Cesar 'CJ' Loya Jr
• Hayden Harsh

The Summer Industry Course was partnered with Bluepoint Games based in Austin, TX. Each week during the 10 week course, mentors from their studio visited the classroom to guide the students through the development process. We couldn't be more grateful to our mentors from Bluepoint for their instruction and support!

In 'The Ritual', you play as a demonic spirit that has been summoned to our mortal realm by an elderly woman who seeks to use your power to help her reunite with her dead loved ones. However, your journey to the land of the living has drained you of all your power! You must collect items around the Granny's ranch property to complete a ritual that will restore your strength! Watch out, you must travel only in shadows to avoid banishment. Interact with objects and complete puzzles to manipulate lights and shadows to traverse the ranchito. Even worse, the neighbors called the Exorcist to check out the property. Don't get too close to him, or he will banish you on the spot. Good luck playing, pequeño demonios!
