A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to Melas! The suffering of innocent victims has turned this city into a hotbed of evil. Can you survive in this sinister place?

This is a demo version of the prologue of my game for Jam. There is no multi-hour gameplay, I just did not have time. But I still decided to participate and post the introductory part of the game, which I managed to bring to at least some logical conclusion. All the models presented in the game were made by me personally within two weeks. This is my first project, which I brought to at least some finale. I will be glad to your feedback.

Enjoy the game

Warning: The game contains flashing lights, themes of suicide, death of people, foul language

Although in essence a sad/saddening story, the game doesn't go overboard in presenting these sentiments as the main dish to delve into.  Through solving simple puzzles the story unfold further and further, until it ends.

I missed the scarecrow on the way, but did notice it in the way out :o]

I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.

Thank you for your feedback and for the video. This is my first project and it is very important to me.

You're welcome.

Some ideas to [perhaps] add to the game:

1) nothing is more unsettling the moment you hear another set of footsteps, besides your own, but can't see who or what creates them [if repeated this should be sparsely].

2) When walking through a forest at night, and not too far away in the distance, an entire tree collapses under its weight. 

3) Create things  whose silhouette look like something scary.

If this is your first project, you have a very promising future ahead of you. Try as hard as you can to be original. Don't follow the path many have run down, without thinking.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

I'm following you, so when you upload something new, I'll be on it right away :o] 

It looks pretty interesting, playing the game I explored it in my own way, and I really liked that the developer provided for this. The game is intuitive, go here take this, read, go there you will find it there.

The decorations in the game are good, the sound is excellent.

Despite the fact that the game is made in pixel graphics (correct me if I'm wrong) it looks very good.

I join the number of people who liked this DEMO version of the future game. I would gladly play it all the way through.

P.S. I found a couple of visual "jokes". When you approach the sign to the burgers, the textures on the side disappear and you can see what's inside))) But this does not spoil the impression of the demo, I remind you that it was made by ONE person!

"The Scarecrow should definitely be the main antagonist! :DD

Привет! Спасибо за отзыв! Я смотрел тебя на твиче) С меня подписка на ютубе. Насчет графического бага. Дело в том, что я делал игру с визуальной эстетикой Playstation 1, а там как раз были иногда подобные баги при приближении камеры (особенности слабого железа). Но твое замечание не первое, поэтому подумываю убрать это в небольшом обновлении. Я посмотрел твой вариант прохождения и собрал неплохой список изменений. Спасибо!

A good short game, congratulations to all the creators of this game, I want all the creators of this game to subscribe to my channel please, thank you, I give it 5 stars, I would like it to have Spanish language as an optional, greetings from Spain!!

Buen juego, espero el juego completo.

¡Muchas gracias! Definitivamente habrá una versión completa. (Perdón por la mala traducción, usé Google)
