The Endless Night - Prelude - New Build..? Soon!
In prep of releasing a new version by the end of this month.. (hopefully)..
I have deleted the original #adventurejam version of The Endless Night “Prelude”.

WHY?
Because I don’t want people playing the original jam build of the game and then never coming back to play the more decent version of “Prelude” and then… never playing the full version of the game.. when that comes out.. I’d rather them play “Prelude” how I wanted it to be by the end of the gamejam, but didnt have time to finish.

And then someone asked “Well…? What’s taking so long then?”
The Endless Night - Prelude has actually been done for a while and the game has progressed past it a fair amount.. I couldn’t decide if maybe I was gonna break the game up into episodes and release the first episode for free or what.. and honestly I still don’t know what I plan to do.. but I am going to release “Prelude” as I originally intended… I am now in the process of going back to the first area.. adding sfx and other polishing stuffs..

So what exactly is The Endless Night - Prelude?
It’s essentially a prototype.. but instead of just calling it that I am weird and called it prelude.. So.. Its some sort of short prototype/demo more or less.. it has one “puzzle” if you can even call it that… but its the first puzzle of the game so…

What should I expect from The Endless Night - Prelude?

• Around 10 minutes of gameplay!
  (spedrunner2 says: “Gameplay? more like walking simulation.. I finished it in 2 minutes!”)

• One Puzzle!
  (retrogramer1999 says: “I want hardcore puzzles like old adventure games I grew up with… pffft.. this game sucks!”)

• A few characters to interact with!
  (masseffectfan says: “You call that character interaction!? What a joke..”)

• A scene where the character shows off his leg to get a ride!
  (“Insert feminist comment here”)

• FUN STUFF! various items to use.. YOU CAN SMOKE CIGARETTES!
  (momagainstgaming says: “This game is corrupting our youth! the character can smoke!.. How dare they!”)

• Enjoyable pixel art!
  (halo_masterchef says: “What’s with all these retro indie pixel art games? This game sucks! This is worse than a free flash game!”)

• A couple recognizable popculture spoofs/characters..
  (mrlaughs101 says: “This game has no original ideas, and fails to be humorous on any level!”)

• AND!!! ALTERNATIVE PATHS!
  (theroadnottaken17 says: “So, I can hitch a ride from a couple different drivers? Big whoop! I couldnt even see where the alternate paths went because the demo ended!”)

• &, & OF COURSE! HITCHHIKING!
  (wantsomecandylittleboy53 says: “Hitchhiking is dangerous.. this game is encouraging young minds to go out and be murdered by people!”)

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy The Endless Night - Prelude’s new build once I get it up here more than those imaginary people above…. if you must play the old build.. you can still find it on itch.io.. donate please? http://ghostlygurustudios.itch.io/the-endless-night

Oh.. maybe I should mention that the full game is just called The Endless Night.. and I am working my butt off on it.. If you haven’t figured it out by now.. The Endless Night - Prelude.. is basically a free teaser/prototype/demo thing.
