Heaven / Hell by ElusiveMirage

[raw]
made by ElusiveMirage for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

First time participating in Ludum Dare, my idea is wayyyy too big in scope for a project for a 3 day game jam but couldn't think of any other ideas that fit the theme that someone probably hadn't done already.

The premise is that you are a soul that enters the cycle of reincarnation and that you encounter events along the way that affect your accumulated sin and virtue, and the goal is to break out of this cycle through gaining insight and self realization through interaction with other souls, and you pass through either heaven or hell in each loop.

Game is a really, really half-assed and unpolished version of what I had envisioned, but it's the best I could do with a lack of time and my general incompetence as a developer. Honestly, don't waste your time playing this, its absolutely trash and probably not very fun.

I'll probably work on this in the future to make it not completely shit.

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed the story, and the choice-driven experience. I bumped into a bug where I had to repeat the first loop twice, and the first encounter with the mysterious white figure led directly into a battle. Thanks again for a very cool take on the theme.

I liked the idea, the battle system works, the music is very nice, what I missed is interactions between objects, showing that someone was damaged, and sometimes the text box was on top of the options, I believe that in the future it can add effects and improve the polish of the game, but go ahead and dedicate yourself more and more, and you will have great results, a big hug.
