A downloadable game for Windows

Enjoy this small platformer focused on storytelling. The story line is about moving forward after a heavy loss.

* Project made for the GameDev.tv 2022 Game Jam with the theme DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

Everything else done by me, Eduardo D. Barbetta.

-- Tools used --

  • Unreal Engine 5;
  • MagicaVoxel;
  • Krita;
  • rFXGen;
  • Mixcraft 9 Recording Studio;

-- Known Issues --

  • Character slips on the edges of the platforms due to default capsule collider. Fixing it would require create custom movement controller (create player from Pawn actor instead of PaperCharacter actor);
  • There's a small gap when switching music loops;
  • The game state isn't reset to deafault values on home menu;
  • UI elements need more work;
  • The music on home menu doesn't update its volume on the fly;
  •  On the puzzle about asking for help the path to continue isn't in player's sight all the time. That may lead to player feeling stuck;
  • On the puzzle about asking for help the switch in front of the wall isn't visible unless the player gets close enough to it;
  • The mechanics to interact with the friend aren't well introduced;
