Hench
Hench is a game played by the community.
Levels are procedurally generated but are the same for every player.
Everyone who plays a level contributes to that levels completion, and once a level is completed it is flagged and another level replaces that one soon after.
Time-lapse:

This game is dependent on the server, which I will keep up for a very long time, but this means it can have issues and might break at some point. If it does try to contact me and I'll do my best to fix it.
Controls:
Move: W, A, S, D
Shoot: Click
Talk: Enter/Return
If you would like to change the controls, download a version of Hench and change the input either in the dialog box before the game begins or in the config file.
Theme:
I found this theme quite difficult, narrative isn't one of my stronger traits and didn't know to convey the theme through gameplay. I started with an idea but soon got bogged down by the technical bits.
