LudumData

YOU are the villain by Husky

[raw]
made by Husky for LD25 (COMPO)
I like the theme!
The first time I saw it in the voting list,
I decided that if it will be the theme, I would make it a horror game, like "Eternal Darkness".
...then things are all out of control lol.

Spending lot of time on know how to work correctly with the libraries and tools.

This is my first time to use PhotoShop. LuaAlchemy. and DAME.

Pixel art is fun, I will practice to make it better!
(sorry for the missing color of some animations...)

Lua is cool, changing things without relaunch the game is awesome.

Sorry I didn't make the game really horror, it's lack of detail, didn't have the time to add all the events in my notebook :p

I learned a lot from the two days.

Thanks for the activity, and thanks for your playing!

----------------------------------------------------------
Hints:
1. The game need mouse input.
2. Try interacting items more times, that's where my time spending most :)

*I have fixed the annoying "W" in post-combo version*

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but your game doesn't seem to be working.

Web: After pressing W, it shows a guy, a corpse and a door. if you press A or D, you hear a sound. I've tried facerolling and clicking everywhere, but nothing beside those two buttons seem to work.

Windows: After pressing W, you simply get a black screen.

Oops, it's working fine here...
Did ur mouse click out of game screen?
Darn...I shouldn't remove the DEACTIVATE event...

Or maybe it's an error caused when I was trying porting to web?

Thanks for your feedback! :p

Unreliable narrator!
I like your idea but I don't like QTE that much.
Will read your code later :p

Even though the game is not very horror-looking, the mood is really nice. When playing I can't stop thinking what happened. :)

But the clues in game can be arranged in a more meaningful way though, I guess.

Thanks!
I do want to make more details and hints, but that need lots of time...
The next time I will make more detail and point. :)

Well done on this! Sometimes is very difficult to read the dialogues because they are over the sentence "Press W"

Difficult to say on this one, I liked what you were trying todo but it all seemed too chaotic and perhaps without purpose

Haha, this was great. Played it to the end. You have a very active imagination - crazy, but fun! Did the QTE make any difference? I'm sure I was failing at most of them.

@Rob
Thanks, and sorry to confuse you, didn't set enough clues and hints...

@daredevildave
Thanks you! :)
Well, yes...in principle, if you fail the QTE, it should change to gameover and restart from the startpoint...but I didn't finish this...so you well recover all the HP and...that's all...*sigh*

Sorry to confusing you, guys.

Nice overall concept and a clever use of the mouse for quick time events.

Nice idea and mood, but the text was a bit messy in its presentation. It seemed to go too fast in places and was occasionally obscured by the health bar or went off the edge of the screen.

Yes, the annoying "W" an UI...
But I don't know if I can fix it now.
I am afriad of breaking the rule...

Good job on making a game with mood and story telling. I really enjoyed it despite some technical problems with dialog showing up multiple times or partly off screen.

You might want to try a new web server norton says there are 2 viruses detected. I know that isnt correct but just saying.

I like the fighting mechanic. The dialogue was a bit finicky at times.

Great game. I find it awesome having time during LD48 for not only creating a game... but also a compeling story!! Well done!

I like the concept. The w key notify would interfere with the results often times, would be nice if it went away when I was already examining. Liked the transition to madness. Not sure at the end what was really going on.

I love games that really play off my expectations.

Not sure how I feel about fighting off PTSD with QTE's, but the flow of the narrative was ... interesting. Nice job.

The mouse mechanics as the core gameplay was really great. I think they were really evocative and helped set the mood for the game. The polish was very low, but I think the vision surpasses the so-so implementation and still leaves me feeling like this was a very impressive gaming experience.

I liked your game, and it's cool that you got it made in only 2 days. I think it definitely needs some extra work done, because for a thriller polish is really highly important. I think there are many great ideas here, but perhaps you were too ambitious, and it's hard to make them all shine in only 48 hours.

Still, great job, and I'd love to play a post-compo version of this.
