ROT.

Actual survival horror for the Game Boy, made in GB Studio for Scareverse Jam '23.

And it's a heck of a lot smaller than I'd originally intended... so far...

As time went on, and the jam deadline loomed ever closer, I realised that in order to filter in little things like sleep and mealtimes, I'd have to reduce the scope of the project, so rather than straining to deliver my magnum opus, I figured I'd better settle for a decent demo.

There's a lot more going on in the project file than can be seen in the game as released so far, such as this image I'd tweeted* out a few days ago:


but as I haven't made the "game bits" in which those elements are going to show up, think of them as treats to be seen in a later build.

Also I realise that the location of the blood on the road does not correspond at all with where the story appears to be leading, so obviously that's something else that's going to be addressed moving forward...! ๐Ÿค”

For me, the best part of this entire project is the simple fact that I now have a solid framework upon which to build certain demakes... ๐Ÿ‘€

Watch this space...! ๐Ÿ‘

* Yeah, I'll be damned if I'm going to stop calling them tweets...!
