Lonely Boy is my entry for the 29th Ludum Dare competition, based on the theme Beneath the Surface. The game is a 3D, black and white, third (invisible) person non-shooter, story-based game, with limericks as the only form of narrative. It started out as an experiment in 3D rendering.
Instructions: Enter: Go Fullscreen (Recommended) W, A, S, D: Move Mouse: Look
For Chrome users: If clicking on the title at the start does not make it go away, try opening the game in Firefox.
Great entry. I really like the art style and the way you make the player discover the world. The choice of narrative fits the game very well and the music is beautiful.
Wow. an intersting experience. and very atmospheric. i think if the text was audio it would work better as i was more keen to watch the beautiful imagery than read the text. beautiful work.
Only thing is I thought it was a bit slow to start, wish there was a bit more incentive straight from the beginning. Apart from that loved the art and music, really enjoyed the concept!
Really like the audio but it's missing some sound effects. Extremely innovative but also slightly lacking in fun. I think the blindness also works against you as much as it works for the mood and theme of the game.
The art was very well done, especially the player footsteps and drawing the walls.
The writing was excellent and provided a good direction for the player.
