Burning Darkness is a Horror-RPG, set in an abandoned villa. The goal is to find 2 keys and to open the main door.

Also you are a duck, for reasons.

Controls:
AWSD - Movement | E - Interact / Select (In-Battle) | Escape - Inventory | H - Healthpotion

Everything in the game was made by us 2 in 72 hours, using Gamemaker Studio 1.4, Paint.net, sfxr and Ableton Live 9

The only exceptions are a breathing sound and the pixelated font

It was really creepy... nice job!

I like the visuals and sound and really like how the lighting was done, but (at least initially) there seems to be no real reason to avoid combat. Balancing aside, it's a really cool and well executed idea, congrats on finishing the game!

I really like the style! It makes me think of the old survival horror of Playstation 1 (those with turn-based fights), the atmosphere is good. The character a bit slow, but the BOSS is just too hard! But Good Job, you must continue that project!

The paper mario perspective is really good, looks nice! Enjoyed it :dog:

Loved the visuals, but combat was weird, the last guy didnt attack me at all and when he killed me in combat the whole game crashed.

Nice visuals and really creepy! :)

Cool lighting effects :) The atmosphere was definitely unsettling. I didn't get too far before being killed by a clown.

I liked the creepy lightning style hehe. It remembered to me to spooky house of jumpscares. The RPG gameplay is a bit tough though. Good job!

Cool idea, but I was not really into it because the duck was a bit too comic and the movement was too slow, or maybe the rooms were too large.

Also, I didn't get the horror vibe because I knew that I could fight the monsters.

Nice graphics and production, can be a very fun game with a little more work, gratz!

Nice style and sound design. Very polished entry, well done!

... The boss was just too hard. Also mixing RPG and horror is kinda killing the horror side (but I'm very sensitive so it works well on me even though)

Really creepy! I liked this a lot. The lighting and audio was well done. I think it was a bit odd to be playing as burning duck and the movement was a bit slow, but I enjoyed it.
