An exploration of the mind of a man lost in dark dreams ...

Please disregard the LD24 naming convention. One of us was entirely mistaken about the current LD's number. =P =P =P

System Requirements:
- Windows (not tested on versions other than 7)
- .NET CLR (Here is the standard option: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8493)
- EDIT: You probably shouldn't need the OpenAL installer anymore because OpenAL is now included with the zip file.

You should just be able to unzip and run!
Let us know if you have any issues.

Unfortunately could not run. Got an installation error on OpenAL. Are you sure that OpenAL can't be distributed as a linked library in your application rather than needing to actually install the library?

fyi: chrome showed me a malicious warning for your zip file.

@dalbinblue: I've updated the package. OpenAL is now included and will probably work on another machine?

@xandy: I believe all games have malicious file warnings. =P

liked the idea but the walking speed was imho way too slow.

@xandy: Thanks for reviewing! Yes, the walking speed was rather slow. The decision was made for code simplicity and was a tradeoff that we made. =3

The last two levels were pretty good examples of the game play - I wish there was more, the theme was also pretty spot on. Though a little less villany than mislead unless you read it as mentally insane which I think it was. I was however disappointed by the lack of music - perhaps more time on graphics and perhaps ever so slightly faster movement, although I didn't feel like that was a problem. Other wise I really liked trying to find the monster then figure out the best way to get him alone - the store level and crate level as I said before were really good for that.

@Verrazano: Thanks for the review!

@OU GDA: Walking is rather slow. =)
There wasn't actually sound. =P

Still had to install the openAL for this to work
it was interesting, but the slow controls kinda took away from it..

Very good intro and mechanics, but the walk-speed prohibited me from playing much more.

Um, I have downloaded and installed OpenAL Installer and still can't run the game... Sorry I'm not good in these kind of stuff :P

Still having no luck. The addition of OpenAL libraries in the game folder didn't fix the issue, but I did get on another machine (Windows 7 instead of Windows 8) and was able to install OpenAL. I'm not stuck on a Unhandled Exception: System.EntryPointNotFoundException: unable to find entry point named glBindFrameBuffer in DLL opengl32.dll.

It'd be nicer if it didn't require an XNA install, but what can you do, right?

I thought the soundtrack was very nice.

unfortunately there was a badImageFormatExemption, so I was unable to play:(

Do not have windows, so alas, I could not play, but great job entering something.

Quite an intriguing theme, but the controls (especially the walking speed) were painful. Lack of sound was also an issue; some mild, disturbing ambience would have been brilliant.
