What do you think?

Good, but could use a little more work. Got stuck on the 3rd level. Maybe I'm just not thinking things out like I should, but in all honesty, it's a well-made game. I would recommend this to friends.

My mind was strongly violated, but worth it

Until the first boss, I was finding this game really anoying and uninteresting. I'm happy I went on, despite my initial dislike. A great game, with using familiar aesthetics and visual references to cause discomfort and a fascinating narrative. Recommended.

Woof! What a game. Creepy, crazy, and clever. Just have to ask, is it actually possible to get all the chests and secrets? It seems like the kind of game that would make is impossible to get all of them.

I thought this game was brilliant. The twisted Mario concept was very well executed and the soundtrack and visuals merged in a pleasing (if macabre) aesthetic. I really appreciated how some of the puzzles actually made me think and plan my approach in advance (the one that stood out the most was in the 2nd world, where you could resurrect yourself.)

Congratulations on having created this fantastic game!

FREEDOM: Diegesis is a free 2D side-scroller with puzzle, adventure, and horror elements. It weaves a mysterious "show, don't tell" story through-out its gameplay mechanics.

Latest update: April 11, 2016 (loading/save fix, other bug fixes, secret update)


STORY:

This world was once a predictable place, where heroes stomped minions and rescued damsels. But now it is mutating into something much stranger. As a result the heroes are missing or unwilling, and the villains have huddled away searching for more from life.

The protagonist, a disgraced prisoner, finds himself in over his head amidst these changes. He's tasked with infiltrating the Eastern Lands and rescuing his kingdom's princess in exchange for freedom. But he's no warrior, and the world's mutation is spreading...


HOW TO PLAY:

  • Arrow keys to move, climb, or push.

  • X to jump (or to let go of a ladder).

  • C for actions/interactions.

  • R to reset a level if you get stuck.

  • W to switch toggle fullscreen (letterboxed).

  • M to toggle muting of all audio, L to toggle half-volume mode.

  • P to pause or unpause (this also opens a list of controls).

  • F4 to exit the program.

  • Progress is auto-saved at title-cards between levels.

  • Touching any enemy or hazard will kill you and reset the level.

  • Watch out, its easy to get stuck in pits or puzzles. Look before you leap!

  • You can try to collect all the coins and treasures, but why bother?WARNING: Game contains mild strobe effects and possibly disturbing content.See the included readme.txt for credits.
