I came up with a simple horror roguelike: the player finds keys and lighters in chests. The keys are needed for doors and chests. Sometimes the key breaks (a trap, which can be recognized by its texture). The lighter is needed to light candles. If the player is in the dark, scary sounds are heard, and the HUD displays a monologue from GG describing how scary it is. I also wanted to make spotlights for the candles and the player; shaders (there is one, but it is turned off, I didn't even have time to make a checkbox in the settings). Actually, I did all the art and sounds but didn't have time to write the code. That's why I didn't use some of the content. 41 hours of work...
Well... It's still a cool experience! A prototype for GMTK is a good job for one person.
So, admire the art and listen to the background music, dear player.
