I made a game for Ludum Dare 29 about cheating at making a game for Ludum Dare 29. I don't think I survived.
Requirements: A web browser. Should work on Windows, Mac OS/X, Linux, iOS/iPad/iPhone, etc.
If the game seems completely broken or you want to start over, clear your browser cookies (or just the one from beneath-the-surface.herokuapp.com), but be aware that it's supposed to look broken at several points. Don't give up too soon!
Hint: if you haven't tried to cheat, you aren't done. The end is clearly labeled.
A Ludum Dare creepypasta as a game? Neat - and pretty well written on top of it! Sadly it's a bit hard to me: I found out the first cheat code by reading the comments here, and I found out why death is useful, but now I just feel like a failure. And I don't want that.
I also found out how to restart the game without deleting my cookies, but I don't want that.
I loved the mood, it was good and compelling, but eventually I gave up after 30 minutes of not figuring it out. I wish the intro text were not so long, it makes me feel like I have to reread the whole thing to make sure I didn't miss anything.
I love the idea and the fact that you went through and implemented it. (I do rather enjoy creepypasta...) Unfortunately it seemed like after a while I got stuck, or I didn't know what to do, or something. It felt like I was at a dead end and, though I wanted to know how it turned out, I wasn't able to. (Yes, I checked the source code on some of the pages at least.) Still, good work!
Great concept, it was very fun and especially enjoyable because I love creepypasta. However, it was hard to find the codes so I was constantly looking back at the walkthrough (the real one, obviously).
Also, I can't get to your author page. If that doesn't make the game even spookier, I don't know what does.
