A Night in Arkham by gty

[raw]
made by gty for LD25 (COMPO)
A Night in Arkham is a text-based game where you take control of a previously unconscious guy that doesn't know anything about what's happening around.

What should you do?

I've take the +1 Goats optional theme as well.

The game takes place around 1940 and lots of hp lovecrafts references are inside too.

I hope you enjoy it. :3

Your game says I need to download unity web player when I already have it. Additionally my anti-virus program didn't like your site. I'll try again later on a different machine.

A key to speed up the text would be nice if you play a second time

'Use lockpick'

you can't use that.

For me using Unity for this type of game makes it hard to play. The whole box thing to enter commands to which you need to change focus is a bit of a pain. It would play much better as a regular Windows console app.

How do you exit the Bedroom?

Pro tip for future players: You use the lock pick first going "pick lockpick" - pick means "pickup"!

A good ol' fashioned text adventure, I see. The story was pretty gripping, actually. I agree on a way of speeding up the text.
I had some good fun with this one, thanks! Keep making games. :D

Like they said, would be nice a quicker new game.
I liked the atmosphere of the game, much like the real old games.
Good game!

i didn't have enough time to test the text speed and some other features in the game.

the pick/pickup thing makes total sense, you`re right.

i`ve tried to make the game easier like if you do have the key/lockpick you simply go through the door and there's no "use lockpick" like you've tried. maybe that's a real problem because it's not that obvious.

i`ve tried on my pc yesterday and everything went ok then i`ve tested the game today and it asked a new unity plugin. weird but it worked. and my "site" is dropbox.com so i don't think i can do anything about it haha

thanks for the feedback.

It was pretty interesting indeed =]
I wish I could pick up more than one object at once , like :

Pick Lockpick and Stealthpotion

And receive both items instead of having to type pick for each one of them...

I really enjoyed it, though =]
