Graveyard Oracle
A browser occult toy made in HTML5

This is a silly little oracle for the Gameboy DMG/Pocket/Color made for GBJam. You ask your question and the oracle returns a yes or no answer. It has applications from the mystical to simply working out what you're going to do next in the solo TTRPG you're playing.

The focus of the game is exploring the systems it presents and trying to see as much of the art as possible. I'm hoping that players form a relationship with the game and question how it works. I spent a significant amount of time making sure it'll work for both the greyscale screen and for the gameboy color screen - there's a difficulty with column bleed that I'll have to illustrate in another devlog some time.

The music is provided by the ever effervescent Phizzy Essence (aka LKCampbell).

I hope you enjoy!
