2023 AMES Game Showcase Contest!!!

Prompt for the 2023 Game Showcase is:

"Rituals and Habits"

You've got habits (your personal "defaults" which would translate to a 'flow' state) and rituals (which are deliberate choices) and trying to balance them out. A starting thought would be to think about it is "keep players in flow" during levels but then "meaningful choice" during key points/ boss battles/etc (you don't have to do it that way, but it's a good starting point).

Please see the FAQ under "Community"!
