Story

Stranded in the dungeon with only a sword and torch that lights up an area around around themselves. The torch can only burn for so long before running out. Enveloped by the complete darkness around them, they could feel a chill down their spine as corruption began to spread into their body. With limited light, a weapon, and looming death by corruption, they must locate the keys to unlock doors that will lead them out of the dungeon.

Will they survive?

Game Details

The current build of this game is a prototype / demo. The current gameplay duration will be around 10 - 20 minutes. When the corruption reaches a certain threshold the player will receive a curse. There are different curse for every threshold attained by the player. The higher the corruption, the quicker the corruption accrue. 

There are many more elements that we wanted to include and improve but couldn't do so within submission time frame of the game jam. Any feedback for the game would be greatly appreciated and would contribute towards the way we shape the game later on.

Dev Notes

Fun fact: Majority of the sprites within this game are made by our team members except the control prompts, those were made by Xelu as mentioned above in the credits section.

The game is in windowed mode because we feel like the sprites are too stretched and is too pixelated to be played.  Additionally, A dialog between the player and the unknown figure was planned but we couldn't execute it within this time frame.

The sword skeleton were meant to have attack animation but were proved hard to animate so sadly there's no animation for the sword skeleton's attack within this current build.
