Author's notes

It's been a while! I'm pleased with the result even though it's total jank and doesn't have a proper core gameplay loop yet. But it explores the "Power at all costs" concept in a different way while still trying to Delay the Inevitable.

Game was made with Unity.
Models were created using the ProBuilder package.
Materials are basic Unity materials, some with textures made with Paint.net.
Code written in Visual Studio 2019

Audio: Cubase + LABS for music track, Cubase + Serum for consume sound, Audacity + mic for bluh bliep bla bla

Walkthrough with spoilers

You can move around with WASD, and look around with the mouse. The E key is for interacting with things, and the F key is for grabbing and dropping things.

Start by talking with Grampa, press space to continue with dialogue and/or the number keys for dialogue options. He'll ask you to find 3 blood bags in the room. Grab them, then talk to Grampa again to hand them in. Each time he'll unlock a new magical power for you, allowing you to see more information about the people you're looking at.

After handing in the blood bags, he'll ask you to bring his roommate to him. After consuming the roommate, you are ready to buy spells and explore the hospital. You can buy spells by talking to Grampa again, and you can equip (some of) them by pressing Tab and assinging the spells to one of your hands. Use the spells to bring more people to Grampa so he can extend his life further and give you access to more spells.

Known bugs

Lots! It's very janky. Sometimes NPCs will wander through walls. Some will crawl on the floor. The Tab menu doesn't lock your camera. Aggressive NPCs cannot damage you yet but relentlessly chase you for easy consuming. Half the spells aren't implemented. Half of the implemented ones are untested and/or buggy. NPCs don't react to their surroundings. Where are all the doctors and nurses? Etc, etc. Yeah I know, I bit off more than I could chew :D

I also didn't have time (or forgot, really) some options such as mouse sensitivity. I hope it's ok!

But still, I hope you have/had fun!
