Lonely Crossway (Desktop Build)

Version: 1.1.0about 4 hours ago

The intended janky experience that was rushed out in 12 hours... out of 72 provided. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE MAC BUILD, cos Apple sux: The game build is purely experimental was completely untested, until some people tried and confirmed it works. The zip contains the "Universal" .app build that - in theory - should work on both Intel and Silicon abominations. First launch may need you to right-click → Open (or Ctrl-click → Open), or you will need to allow third-party apps in System Preferences → Security & Privacy → General → Allow apps downloaded from: App Store and identified developers and click Open Anyway, otherwise Gatekeeper will refuse a plain double-click because the game binary is unsigned. Please keep that in mind.

Lonely Crossway (Jankier Web Build)

Version: 1.1.0about 4 hours ago

The web build is missing a crucial audio aspect that will make your playthrough much more difficult than intended. It is recommended that you download the standalone build of the game for the intended experience. Otherwise, I'd recommend playing this build in a Chrome-based browser... just in case.

Haven woken up in the middle of the road, all you can do is keep moving…
It’s awfully quiet here.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

Lonely Crossway is my Ludum Dare 59 Game Jam rushjob entry that, following the “Signal” theme, turns crossing the road following the traffic light signals into a small… nightmarish scenario.

Yes. It’s a very bite-sized psychological horror game.

I spent 12 hours on this... out of the 72 provided. Yeah, I don’t know what I was doing either, but I am genuinely happy I pulled through, regardless of the fact I may have messed up the final… thing.

CONTROLS

Up arrow - Move

Left/Right arrows - Check sides

Spacebar - Look back…

Everything else, from coding, sprite artwork and all that - ME. I DID IT.

Hints for the Mac build - "Tanjou" (@tanjou.bsky.social on BlueSky)

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

I literally rushed through this, finishing it in under 12 hours, right before the end of the submission deadline (which was really intended for Compo submissions...) So, yeah. The web version actually has a main menu, somewhat, but... no footsteps.

It’s not ideal, so don't expect this to be the next Amnesia: The Dark Descent or something... however you spell it, I am not spellchecking this shit. lmao

ANOTHER KNOWN (smaller) ISSUE:

The base traffic light post sprite doesn't render out, cos OpenGL is allergic to shaded sprites, apparently. lol
