Which Theme did you choose?

Dreadful Prison

How did you implement your chosen Theme into your game?
The prison has both narrative and gameplay significance: the action takes place in a prison corridor with appropriate architecture, and the prison cells do not open immediately — the player can plan their own route, which changes over time. Additionally, it's not known in advance who will come out of the cell: a regular inmate or a mutant hunter.

Did you implement any of the Bonus Challenges and if so, which ones?
Prisoner Experimentation - the prisoners are divided into two groups. The first group receives pills that only cause diarrhea, so they run slowly, quickly get exhausted, and their vision darkens. The second group gets radioactive steroids that cause intense pain and rage, as well as a temporary boost in strength and speed. And no diarrhea!

Guard or Prisoner - we play as a prisoner who, unfortunately, ended up in the group with the diarrhea. The player does not control the doors, just like in a real prison, and can only run and hide.

Well done on the game! I wasn't really sure what to do at first, but I got the hang of it. The art aesthetic was nice, and I liked the fish eye effect. The game ran smoothly and was enjoyable, great job!

A fun short game

Cool short game. At the beginning it is not clear what to do. The game can be completed without pretending to be dead. The ending is fiery :D

Developer

Thanks! :)

This is such a fun idea and I liked all the prisoners and enemies dancing when I won haha! :D

I think this game could scale very well being given more time. To make the labyrinth more complicated and with different enemies! The only thing I would change would be to turn down the fish eye effect a little, other than that, well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

Just played this game, I really like the fisheye camera effect, it addon to the effects of hallucination we get from diarrhea XD. At first it was challenging to find the exit, but after figuring out the prison layout and getting my skull crushed twice at least!!, I was able to win.

If I have to mention something constructive, the mutant prisoners can be faster, so it remains challenging even when replaying, otherwise it's perfect. Overall look and feel is amazing.

Really Enjoyed this!
