I "escaped" from finishing this game - not because I didn't have time, but because it was going in a direction I didn't like. The introduction is still fully functioning and the game mechanics work properly (although they lack the later content to be able to demonstrate such).

Escape is used in both a literal sense (the very beginning) and a metaphorical sense (escape from the physical self) although I did not fully flesh out the second.

Note: source is included in downloads under the game folder

Mostly this was a learning experience for me - as my first LD, I found it very different from a miniLD. In the future, I plan on brainstorming ideas for ALL themes before the competition, doing art by hand and scanning it, and not giving the player effectively over 1 billion options per encounter (1,889,568,000 to be precise - the main reason I ended up scrapping this project)

It says "You need permission to access this item." on all three of the links.

Interesting concept. Nice to see more Ren'Py games.

Cool concept. Sad to see that you didn't finish it. Graphics looks good, music is sweet. Polished interface. Good job overall.

It must have been a good game because I was kind of sad to see it end so abruptly. Could make an interesting puzzle game out of this concept.

There's not much gameplay here, at the moment it's more of a story narration. I like the idea behind this, though!

Nice musical accompaniment!

I hope you can finish this up someday, I think you have something going on, it just needs lots of more time to be developed. Keep it up! Nice music btw

It has potential. I liked the music.

I think it would have been more than enough of a game if I could see the changes I make as a shapeshifter. :-) Nice music, of course, and the story begins promising.
So don't stop, continue working on it!
