DecaByte is a mild horror, RPG and puzzle game about beating a reality game, you're not alone, and you can't trust anyone.

This is only just the demo of the full game, the development of which is still in it's early stages. Starting major production of the full game will depend on how the demo is received.

The DEMO is totally FREE to play and stream, and your honest reviews are greatly appreciated.

A peek inside:

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it! And thanks for the feedback, I'll take note of that! Please do mention any other bugs or design errors!

You're cooking, 9/10 👍. Would be 10/10 if someone gave me a quick in-game tutorial, just saying~

My favorite style of graphics! The movement was difficult tho, the character moves so fast mid air I kept falling down in void. 8/10

It is very difficult, but I liked the visual presentation.

Nice job on the demo!

9.5/10 man! Even the characters are telling me to upgrade!

Thanks!

I just submitted my game, drop by at embers671.itch.io, it's called DecaByte!

I'd appreciate you honest feedback, and as always, Thanks in advance!

Very nice and relatable! dont install shady software, kids!

Great game, now I need an update...

Hey, I made a puzzle game's demo for this jam, and after shipping it my first playtesters told me it was difficult to solve the puzzle,. It was half intentional on my part, games like Aria's Story, The Midnight Train and Paper Lily dont give hints outright to keep the players focus on the game rather than making it 'easy'.

So I wanted to ask, should I add a Spoilers section on my itch.io page that lets voters play the game if they get stuck??

As the deadline nears, I'd appreciate a response sooner than later.

Thanks in advance!

The host chooses who can vote, mostly hosts limit it to those who submit, this voting is for how your game performs in the jam. The rating on your page is how your game performs generally and will keep updating as more people play even after the voting period for this jam closes.

If I upload a demo for this jam, can I upload a finished version of the game in the future?

Also, if the demo is a vertical slice, is it okay if some content shown in the demo is removed or changed in the full release? I'm making a story-driven game, so some ideas may evolve during development.

Thanks!

Thanks, it's not perfect, but I hope it helps someone save time.

Thanks for the warning, I'll keep that in mind for future reference!

Hi, for all those who started late or still don't have an asset pack for their submission, you can use this one for your game as a base, it's free. I made it for my submission but for some reasons I cannot continue work on it. 

If any of you do use it, feel free to customize as you wish, it might be pretty bland, but I hope it's good enough for a base. It has basic level building blocks, and a rigged UV'd character. More about the asset-pack on it's page, link down below.

Note: According to the jam's rules, this asset pack was made during the jam duration

That helps a lot, thanks!

Hi, I'm a beginner coder and decided to take part in this jam as my very first. I have a plan in mind, but reading the rules and guide, I couldn't find instructions about the final game format, should it be an exe, an html game, or apk.

I'm also confused about the type of game (2D / 3D) and whether it was defined anywhere or not (couldn't find specific rules, sorry). The plan I have in mind is 3D.

Thanks for replying.
