Scoopzy Sweets
Independent • UEFN • First-Person Mascot Horror
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Scoopzy Sweets is a first-person mascot horror experience created entirely in UEFN over a focused four-week production cycle. Designed to feel colorful, nostalgic, and unsettling beneath the surface, the experience slowly reveals its mysteries through exploration, collectibles, environmental storytelling, and character-driven lore.
Inspired by retro sweet shops and boardwalk attractions, the world contrasts playful mascot branding with suspenseful moments, encouraging players to uncover hidden secrets while piecing together the story at their own pace.

GAMEPLAY & SYSTEMS
The experience was built around a structured first-person horror framework designed to balance suspense with readability.
Using Verse, I created systems for:
-
Scripted progression and objectives

Collectible and lore systems
-
Coin-based door unlocking
-
Triggered story and gameplay events
-
HUD messaging and player guidance
-
Jumpscare setups and pacing moments
-
Exploration rewards and hidden secrets
Every system was designed to keep players moving naturally through the experience while still allowing room for curiosity and discovery.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE
Rather than relying solely on scares, Scoopzy Sweets focuses on atmosphere and contrast. Bright colors, playful mascots, arcade-inspired details, and nostalgic environments slowly give way to a deeper mystery hidden beneath the surface.
The project explores how far UEFN can be pushed for authored, story-driven experiences while maintaining strong performance, visual clarity, and replayability.
IMPACT
Scoopzy Sweets represents a complete creative build executed in just four weeks, from original concept and visual identity to gameplay systems, storytelling, polish, and launch.
The experience continues to evolve after release as I refine pacing, expand collectibles, and explore new ways to deepen the lore and player experience.
