Let people know how long this project has been going, or share a bit of its history.
Started work on this game using Bitsy around Christmas Eve, but didn't truly hit my stride until after new years, which really got my butt kicked into gear. I told myself that I didn't want yet another year to go by where I sit on projects and never finish them.

So suffice to say I finally completed it earlier this week on the fourth! This is my first project where I can definitively say that it is actually finished, and it feels very nice to finally be able to say that.

Anyway, this game was mostly inspired by old-school first person dungeon crawlers. It has narrative-driven game play with some horror elements.

I hope you enjoy!

Man this was quite the trip back to the 80s dungeon crawlers.  Very simple, but very well done.

I think that's a great start! If you want to carry on the project, you might add more levels and get deeper into the story!

Thanks, and totally! I really wanted to keep the game small in scope just so I would be more apt to finish it.
