Lovecraftian Aberration
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
I am quite new to coding. This is my 3rd solo gamejam (in other game gams I usually only make art). Most assets (furniture and humans) were made during the previous 2 game jams or somewhere in between. I did try my hand at modular asset creation this time and modelled the parts that the houses are made of. Some sounds (crows, portal spawn, other world's music) were found on pixabay. Others recordered by me and my husband.
I used Blender, Krita, MaterialMaker, Materialize (for normal maps mostly) and ocenaudio. The game is made in Flax Engine.
Uploaded the linux build here (you will need .NET SDK) https://drive.google.com/file/d/15EdIXqy374bpHTDgyc4F9ZcBAMPRiQ9k/view?usp=shari...

I did it! It took me a second to figure out the controls and how to orient the shapes to the puzzle, then I noticed the gap in the border of the puzzle and it clicked! I liked the visuals of slowly succumbing to the madness of this area, there was a distinct sense of dread, having all of these people laughing made it all the more uncanny.
I also really liked the goal of finding the "weirdest" place. I was so unsure of what that meant but of course you'll know it when you find it. That was very satisfying.
Having things be vague and unexplained story-wise felt very true to Lovecraft too, I think oftentimes people forget that less is more with these kinds of things.
Great job!
Thank you very much!!! I am very new to game dev. It's so heartwarming to read comments like this:)
nice prototype
Thanks for trying it out! Could you tell me your PC specs? The running seems so slow in the video. I want to figure out why.
