Other than some issues with resolution as mentioned elsewhere, this is a neat idea! The notion of mill-grinding as a focus for a horror idea is pretty damn unique. The scratchy, hand-drawn visuals work well as a sort of parallax effect in a 3D space, kind of like a stage. The environment really does look like a mill and I'm curious to see how these interesting ideas and elements could be shaped up into a game with a little more context or story to support it. Keep on developing these cool ideas!
Thanks for submitting Gaslight to the SCREAM MACHINE jam!
I think I broke it?
They guy gurgled at me, I put some stuff in the grinder, found the writing on the wall and then wandered out of the house. Some skeletal hands closed in on me and then nothing happened. Interesting game otherwise. :)
I don't think you broke it, I think I messed up with resolution settings and sometimes the lantern circle will become too small.
Also I spent a whole lot of time trying to craft art assets and realized my mechanics weren't communicating what I wanted them to. Thank you for playing it though!
It happens - sometimes the art gets in the way of the mechanics or othe other way around! Good design though, felt like tales from the crypt comics :D
"The developer has not uploaded a game yet..."
Broken link?
First time submitting to itch, I think I messed something up.
Also, I'll do something for next scream jam and this is more a learning piece for me, I'll see if I can get it uploaded correctly!
10/10 would grind up a skeleton again
A gruesome, weird little game! In a good way!
