A Harrowing Journey is a small adventure game that aims to really take this theme to heart! Do your best not to starve to death as you travel to the Grand City after suffering a mysterious curse. Good luck, because rumors have it there are monsters around these parts...
I used Game Maker Studio for the programming, Adobe Photoshop CS6 for the art, sfxr for the sounds and pulseBoy to make the music. My! That's a lot of tools!
NOTE: I found a fatal bug relating to the game's ending and have since fixed it and uploaded a new version, keeping everything else in tact. Please make sure that if you go to play it you have version 1.6, as that is the latest current version! Thanks!
That's the best score I've given so far - I'm not sure if there's a way to life the curse but it was fun getting into that city and killing some people! The music was good, set the mood, and kept with the style of game.
Very nice! An interesting decision to have the character be werewolf-esque, I was a bit confused the first time it happened (perhaps some sound to indicate the changing of day and night would be nice).I do think it would be nice if the player could move a little faster though, but I guess that could be a bit of impatience on my part.
Thank you for your kind words you guys! It is definitely a hard game... @DeusOpus, there definitely is a loud flashing sound when day and night change... maybe it got lost in the midst of everything going on though! Haha.
Otherwise than that? I really like it. It's surprisingly free form, the fact that you put in all that NPC dialogue yet you can kill them all is a lot of effort and it definitely pays off.
I really like this, I think it's one of my favorite games in this LD so far.
Dangit, I accidentally pressed the sword button instead of the talk button, killed a guy, and got shot to death. Not the best way to go XD
If I had one complaint it's that it's hard to tell where you can move as the monster. e.g. I got stuck trying to eat the guy on the bridge and had to wait for day.
@ChosenCharacter: Haha, what is wrong with the name of the game? I am genuinely curious as to why you say I need to change it. Thank you for the rest of your kind feedback as well!
@The other two: Thank you also! I'm glad to hear people are enjoying it so much! It means a lot thanks :)

Great night walking effect. And I really loved how you used the theme.
