Adam, Rejected
Moody 2D-platformer with focus on spoken narration.
Updated version available
After the weekend of the jam we had more time to fix some minor issues and do some quality-of-life updates, which you can find on 👉 Itch.io 👈. The (small) list of changes can also be found on Itch. The version of the game on this page is in the state as it was originally submitted.
Story
Scientist Mandy Shelby creates bodies: live bodies. But when some of her creations do not meet her expectations, she is not one to continue on a doomed project. Her children are worthy. If they are not, there is only one way to go, and that is down.
Meet Adam. Once one of Mandy Shelby's children, now a rejected monster, tumbling down a shaft to his new, dank, forever home under the rocks. But this skellie will not sit idly by. And so his journey upwards begins, with you to help him.
Controls
- `[left]`, `[right]` crawl/walk
- `[up]`, `[down]` climb vines etc.
- `[space]` jump, continue dialogue
Quick start
The game begins with the camera panning downward and some narration. Press `[space]` to advance the text. When the camera stops moving, you can start crawling. Good stuff is to the right.
Thanks for playing
We hope you enjoy our attempt at the Ludum Dare game jam!
Happy crawling :)
