The Turing Test - Midterm Project

The Turing Test is a first-person puzzle game built in Unity 6 and C#. Progress through five interconnected rooms by solving environmental puzzles, fighting hostile robots and turrets, and commanding a friendly robot to help overcome obstacles.

Features:

• Five distinct puzzle rooms with different gameplay mechanics
• First-person combat using projectile and raycast weapons
• Enemy robots and automated turrets with AI behaviour
• Friendly robot that can be commanded to Follow or Move Here
• Environmental puzzles using pressure plates, blocks, moving platforms, targets, lifts, and barriers
• Keycard-based progression
• Cinematic entrance, exit, and ending sequences
• Checkpoint and Game Over systems
• Health and weapon UI
• NavMesh-based robot navigation

Controls:

• WASD: Move
• Mouse: Look / Aim
• Left Mouse Button: Fire
• Space: Jump
• Left Shift: Sprint
• Number keys (1 & 2): Switch Weapons
• E: Interact / Pick up
• G: Move Here Command for Friendly Robot
• F: Follow Command for Friendly Robot
• Esc: Pause

Development:

The Turing Test was developed as my midterm project for my game development program. I designed and implemented a five-room progression system combining combat, environmental puzzles, AI navigation, interactive objects, and cinematic sequences.

The project gave me experience integrating multiple gameplay systems into a larger Unity project, including weapon switching, enemy AI, NavMesh navigation, checkpoints, UI, Timeline cutscenes, Cinemachine cameras, and command-based interactions with a friendly robot.

I also spent significant time testing and debugging interactions between systems, including lift movement, enemy behaviour, projectile aiming, camera transitions, navigation links, puzzle triggers, and checkpoint logic.

Tools: Unity 6, C#, Visual Studio, Cinemachine, Timeline, NavMesh, Unity Input System

Current State:

The project is a completed playable prototype consisting of five puzzle rooms and a full beginning-to-ending gameplay sequence.
