This chest is tied to a puzzle necessary to progress the story in my final year game 'Present. A Child' there is a note discoverable in the Game World which reads as follows:

​

'i’ve a lot of free time

on my hands.

You are on my mind.

It wanders but you follow.

My heart is heavy

It yearns for you.

I miss you.’

​

By pressing the correct buttons on the front of the crate in the correct order - as shown in the animation below (hands, heart, mind) you can open the crate revealing content that will push forward the narrative.

The chest is intended to look handmade by someone who is not a woodworker. Planks of wood sawn and hammered together with two basic latches. 

The locking mechanism is tied to the correct input in the panel at the front of the chest.

​

The chest was modelled in Blender. It was textured and rendered in Substance Painter.
