Game Description
In this game, you play as the last follower of your demon master, and must complete a ritual to bring him back into this world.

How does your game tie into the theme?
The game game has you bring a demon into your world via a ritual. It is powered by superstition and fear of the demon, and you use inanimate objects as a vessel. You must stay in the dark as getting caught by somebody with a flashlight will make you lose.

Sadly no Mac version, next time try HTML5 as that covers all the bases

Developer

sorry, i had trouble exporting for mac, and it wouldn't let me upload the html5 zip because the .pck file was too big

Submitted

Oh that’s annoying. I remember some pck issues in my earlier jams too. Perhaps you have some audio that needs a bit more compression. But if you need mac help in future give me a shout

Developer

certainly not audio issues since I ran out of time and the game is completely silent 🥲

I liked the reversed roles, and being put in the bad guys shoes. The scare animation for the guards is excellent, I loved it!

Nice game, overall. Spending some time on audio/effects would do a lot to send the theme home. Love the fact that you're spooking guards rather than the other way around.


A few noticeable things: Guards can see you through walls. The "leg" isn't really clear unless you look at the picture for the game.

Enjoyed it! Looking forward to your next jam submission!
