Angst is a 2D adventure-exploration game about fighting one's inner demons.

We released a post-jam version with critical bugs fixed.
Our interpretation of the theme is keeping Pauline's sanity/positivity alive.

This is a story of social anxiety and keeping Pauline’s sanity alive
Help a socially anxious lady to make it through a day at her office job without having a panic attack.
Learn how to fight your inner demons by finding healthy ways to discover comfort in a busy and crazy world! You'll encounter various demons inside her "mind forest", use the environment to push them away and get back to the office.
Once you have faced Pauline's demons in her mind and taken down notes into her journal, Pauline will finally understand how to make it through the day without any blackouts.
Can you find all the demons and items to fill up Pauline's journal? *Hint: try "facing" your demons..."*
Naturally we ran out of time so here is some helpful info:
- Pills are really effective, but you can only use them once.
- All interactables can be more effective by pairing them with the right item in your inventory.
- Demons have weaknesses against specific items.
- Use your journal to track your progress.
During the jam our team created all of the following:
- Music
- Sound Effects
- Character Art
- Environment Art
- UI Art
- Coding
- Space/Return - interact
- WSAD - (move)
- ESC - pause
- J - journal
- SHIFT - run (with cooldown)
- Download the Zip
- Unzip to a folder of your choice
- Run `angst.exe`
