The Trail by Orava

[raw]
made by Orava for LD28 (COMPO)
THE TRAIL

Locate all the chests in the mazey interconnected building by following (or not following) your own trail.

----

Bringing down the axe at 36h in.

It's playable and winnable, but everything starting from the original idea has gone down the gutter so I'm axing it instead of ripping my hair out for (another) 12 hours.
----

Controls:
WASD/Arrows (movement, selection)
Space/E (selection)

Objective:
Cake (there's no fancy win screen or anything)

I have found your cake and covered an entire room with my filthy feet dancing in celebration.

I managed to open up a few chests. It was fun, but it got tedious after a while

Pretty cool! But gets a tiny bit repetitive/boring.
Art is simple and clean.
very nice :)

Interesting to explore, but there is so little else to do.

It looks very unique, it's probably my fault I didn't get the puzzle.

I like the footprint effect, but it seems moving diagonally really slows things down after several rooms of walking.

I played long enough to get the cake.
I liked the footprints.

Seemed a bit odd that you could pick a door that you didn't walk to.

Kind of an interesting experiment. A little too abandoned, though.
