OIUUOIUOUI

Explore an underground castle and learn a tragic story about a princess and a king.

This game takes about 15-30 minutes to complete.

Project Goals

I haven’t made many story games before and wanted to try making a complete experience.

I tried to focus on one specific feeling for the story, art, and music choice. I wanted the game mechanics and events to directly relate to the story. Finally, to add to the artsy mood, I wrote everything in iambic pentameter with five-line stanzas.

The final product is the artsy-and-kinda-pretentious story-adventure game that is OIUUOIUOUI. I hope you enjoy!

Credits

I did all programming, art, and writing.

All sound effects and ambient sounds were downloaded from https://www.pacdv.com/sounds/index.html and https://opengameart.org.

The fire crackling sound was taken from this video.

The font is “Deutsch Gothic“ from here.

I used the following soundtracks generously provided by their creators:

• https://opengameart.org/content/distraught-princess

• https://opengameart.org/content/rpg-exploration-maddies-mirror

• https://opengameart.org/content/rpg-exploration-the-lost-city

• https://opengameart.org/content/something-is-near

Title

The title is from the random keyboard smashes I did when I first made the project.
