Hi all,

If you saw my last post (I have since removed it) I was making an ocean game however I lost motivation very fast as it was way too basic. So yesterday I started a small take on the escape / horror game genre. However there are no keys and only the ghost (the enemy) can open doors .Since the theme for the game jam is change, every 15 seconds you change control between the ghost and the player with your goal being to open all the doors (They stay open for 10 seconds). however if when you are the ghost you collide with the player the player still dies.

Here is a gif of what I have so far (It was longer but I had to trim it due to file size):

Best of luck everyone :D

Day 2 (Of the Project):

I added the switching control mechanic as well as the ability to open doors.

I also added the main menu and a new room.

Here is an image of the main menu:

oh huh..... so you're kind of playing against yourself? this is sort of an interesting premise.... just out of curiosity how would you lose the game?

The main idea is that you are trying to make the main player escape and every 15 seconds you change to the ghost perspective as that is the only way to open doors as there are no keys. So it has a bit of strategy of where you leave the player when you change or where you leave the ghost as the ghost will try to hunt you down when you are in the player perspective. I am working on a tutorial to try and explain this in a much simpler form.
