This is a game about fighting your fears, based on battles against bosses who symbolize fears of a main protagonist and ghosts of his past. We are sorry for updating the game so late, but we had some problems IRL. Some of the things were patched after the time was up, so it may be considered a post-compo version, I suppose. We will add some new stuff shortly, like soundtrack and, maybe, voice-over. There is currently neither final boss nor ending in this version of a game.

Controls:
W A S D - movement
Ctrl - Interaction
Arrows - shoot

(Gamepad supported)

@Fledgeling I use dropbox too, and if I'm right the problem is just that you haven't made it public on dropbox - only you can see the link. You don't need a programmer to fix that ;)

Really nice graphism and story. The game was too easy. Cool game overall, to bad there is no ending and no music :(.

Sad the sound is missing, but the graphics are stunning.

Would be nice to have narration for this game...gameplay is a bit meager though..
Ken Scott12 Dec 2014, 18:25
It looks good and I like the idea behind it. would have been nice if the items were arranged so that there was an implied order to how they should ideally be interacted with, such as chronologically.

Awesome game, I loved it. You made a really sad story and good mechanics, and good graphics too! I wouldnt have presented it for humor cathegory, though :P.

Lots of bugs, but very fun to play! Music would make the atmosphere so much better

The bad: Felt pretty buggy overall and I actually got stuck at one memory and could not progress.

The good:
Use of the theme.
The art!
Story.

The story is ingenious! All this crazy stuff with family and even teddy bear is just awesome.
The game is really laking some music for the atmosphere, it would be perfect with sound setting right mood.

Really good entry! That story telling went right to the feelings, some music would be nice though. The gameplay, graphics and animations was brilliant! 5/5 in fun, graphics and mood!
