What is this place? Where am I going?

Good evening Gamejolt! Just popping in to say my new game, Sandcastle Heart, is out. It's a short (~25 min) story-platformer about the process of making a game. I made it for the Narrative Jam, and just thought it might resonate with some of y'all!

#JoltidayCharacter Ebenezer Scrooge from a Christmas Carol. But like, the Disney version where it's Scrooge McDuck. Yes. You cannot stop me.

"... What is this place? The air is so cold... and mouldy. I... there's footsteps coming down the hall."

Abandoned? That sounds... familiar.

Gonna be out of town for the weekend, so here's a bit of a smaller post. Mickey's sprites briefly actually had an earlier design, that had fewer frames and much rougher lineart. Quite glad I went back to redraw them- I think they look a lot better now!

Chat is this a glow-up (2022 vs 2025)

Happy Halloween! Hope you've been feeling frightened this evening. For this year's costume... I have become Mickey himself. No gun because I couldn't find a good looking one, but Relapse ain't ashamed to use a knife either. Had a lot of fun with this!
