A downloadable game for Windows

My humble submission for the March 2023 Frenzy Phobia Jam, themed "Cursed Spirits"...

Beware!

This is an incomplete version of what was intended, due to the obvious time constraints of the jam, so:

  • No main menu, you start the game as soon as it loads.
  • To quit the game, just press Esc at any moment, no progress will be saved!
  • The game has no ending, once you have explored the playground and found 4 out of 5 items scattered over it, you can consider your little adventure done.
  • Item usage has not been implemented.
  • There may be some bugs here and there, of course.

Controls

  • WASD and mouse - Movement (It's a first-person perspective game)
  • E - Pick up items
  • TAB - Toggle the inventory
  • ESC - Quit the game and return to Windows Desktop

Context

You are an extremely curious little cat, and the moment you heard all the unnerving rumors and stories about an old and abandoned orphanage nearby, you couldn't stop yourself from paying a visit... 

You should always remember what tends to happen to little curious cats, though...

Thanks

I hope you all like this very little (and sadly incomplete) dark experience!

The game looks very good but does the object have to be put in place somehow or do they go automatically cause i don't somehow get it how it's works anyway best of luck fixing and keep it up!

Hi! The items you pick up were intended to be used to solve a puzzle, but I won't be able to implement their use before the Jam finishes U_U

Thanks a lot for trying it out! Maybe I'll continue it's development a bit more in the future :3

It has potential, if it gets finished and polished a bit. Cuz I had a bug occurring again and again. Which practically froze my screen, but I could hear my footsteps if I moved even the inventory.

Loved your video :3 Thanks a lot for trying the game out and recording your gameplay! 

Lots of things unfinished in the game I'm afraid... 

About the crashes you were experiencing... Sadly I can't say what could be the issue U_U I'll try and investigate a bit.

Thank you again for your comments!
