Placeholder animation was way to intense, so I started working on the game feel side of it. What a lovely Saturday it has been so far

Just had a Retreat From Darkness test run. My heart is pounding, but I beat the game. There is still a lot of work to be done, but I'm super happy with how good it has become since I started.

Is it worth working on that 10% of the game if only 2% of the players will ever experience it? Yes it is. That is the kind of thing that gave Silent Hill 2 it`s depth and that is the kind of thing Retreat From Darkness will have. The 2% deserves it.

Finished this year`s #GMTKJam project. Unfortunately, I did not have much time this year. The game is just one big loop with not much to do in it, and lacks sound design. If you would like to check it out and feel it's mood, here is the itch page:
