# Retro Horror Camera Component

## Overview

> ## **Camera Zoom Feature**

The **Zoom Feature** of the **Retro Horror Camera Component** is a powerful tool that allows game developers to create intense close-up effects, enhancing the suspense and focus on specific elements within a horror game.

> ## **Custom Post-Processing Materials**

The **Retro Horror Camera Component** also includes five essential effects designed to immerse players in a world of nostalgic terror:

1. **Radial Blur**: Create a whirlwind of fear with the Radial Blur effect. Perfect for simulating disorienting sequences or enhancing the impact of sudden scares, this effect draws players into the core of your game’s most intense moments.
2. **Pixelation**: Invoke the golden era of gaming with the Pixelation effect. This feature allows you to stylize your game with a retro aesthetic, adding a layer of mystery or censoring visuals while maintaining a classic arcade feel.
3. **Lens Distortion**: Distort reality with the Lens Distortion effect. Mimic the imperfections of real-world camera lenses to add authenticity to cutscenes, or warp the player’s view during otherworldly encounters, making every moment in your game uniquely unsettling.
4. **Color Depth**: Reduce the color palette to mimic the hardware limitations of retro consoles, enhancing the old-school feel of your horror scenes.
5. **Dithering**: Implement a grainy texture that gives the impression of older display technology, adding to the overall ambiance of dread and suspense.

> ## **Easy Customization**

Each effect is fully customizable within Unreal Engine 5, giving you the power to craft the perfect visual experience for your retro-horror adventure. Whether you’re looking to create a subtle background unease or a full-on assault of the senses, the Retro-Horror Post-processing Pack is your gateway to a hauntingly beautiful game.
