In the dark
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
This is a remake of a Littlebigplanet 2 level by the same name, created by PSN user "Esuki" with creative liberties taken. I created this to challenge myself and learn. If you would like to support future projects, donations are welcome and appreciated but the game will remain free because it is a derivative work.
!!CW!!: Depictions of suicide and flashing imagery.
This is a first-person psychological horror puzzle game where you must navigate a labyrinth of rooms and corridors, solve puzzles and find keys to "escape". There is a ranking system, two endings, and several collectibles to find. Average playtime is anywhere between 1 - 2 hours, but the game can be completed in as little as 12 minutes!
Developed using the Godot 4 engine and Trenchbroom for map-making.
I haven't quite figured out UI scaling with different aspect ratios yet so things might look awkward if your monitor resolution is any smaller than 1920 x 1080. Please do let me know if this is the case.
