This project was developed for the GameDevTV Game Jam 2023. The theme was "Life in 2 Dimensions".

​

Description: We all have our inner demons with that we struggle with from time to time, but the message here is that it is okay to reach out and seek help when you are struggling.

​

- Please help Jacob on his emotional journey by fighting his powerful     inner demons! (3 different cutscenes and 2 playable levels). 

- Choose your powerups wisely (boss level will be affected based on     your choices)  

 

Cutscenes - Sit back and enjoy the show, you have no control. 
Gameplay - WASD keys to move. The character will automatically shoot where you are aiming your mouse. 

​

This game was built with few different concepts of "Life in 2 Dimensions" here is some examples:

• Grey vs Color: This comes from the mental health side of things where you feel like the World is very grey when you are having a hard time. Color is in reference to feeling a lot better.

• Cutscenes vs Gameplay: The cutscene story is the main concept, with the character struggling with his mental health conditions and subsequentially having to fight his demons inside his head, which is where you will be teleported to a 2D roguelike action shooter. The character experiences a short but powerful journey as he realises it is okay to seek help.

• RPG Cutscenes vs Roguelike Gameplay - We chose this to help the players understand that the RPG cutscenes were the main story/theme and that when the player needed to fight their inner demons (inside their head) it transitioned to the Roguelike, where this is the player's avatar in his mind and he is fighting off his demons.
