Weird game idea...


The premise of the game is simple - a horror game in which you, the player, are trapped in a house (with a few creepy hooded guys) and have to escape. The twist comes from the core gameplay mechanic - movement controls are exactly the same as (or similar to) Google Earth's Street Mode. In other words, you are locked in place, can only turn the camera horizontally, and can only move if you move between rooms. The goal of the game is to obtain the key to the house's front door while avoiding the hooded people stalking throughout the house, because if one of them catches you, it's game over and you must retry the whole game. It's short and sweet if you know what you're doing, but let's be honest - no one does. I may be making this later down the line in collaboration with @dehsmonder if people are interested, so keep an eye out!

On the new Deltarune website, you can spot a face on the upside-down tower. Not sure if this is a coincidence or not though.

We have a question and we wanna know: What's the coolest easter egg you've ever seen in a game? Complete the quest and you'll get 100 Coins!

This is cool but I’m pretty sure it’s fanmade.

The tentacle things at the bottom of the screen, the odd color palette, the weirdly scaled sprites, the sneaking gimmick that we KNEW was unused…

Edit: Read my new post for different reasoning (article):

Regarding the use of generative AI in FAUXTALE.
