This is a weird little indie horror platformer I just finished. Took me less than an hour to do so.

You can download it here, the link is in the first post.

screenshot time!

Which reminds me, there was this japanese guro game consisted of this schoolgirl wandering through a silent hillesque school from hell, and the game revolved around the VN system, where if you chose the wrong path you watched her get brutally murdered.

Anyone know what it's called?

My backyard, I mean,"No".

Bunny · 2012-01-20 12:39:24

Reminds me of Demonophobia.

But that's not a VN game.

THERE WE GO THAT WAS IT

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 16:13:48

Should we turn this into a general indie games thread?

Idler · 2012-01-20 16:18:12

The Company of Myself was good until the stupid plot twist at the end.

Viani · 2012-01-20 16:19:38

yes

MINECRAFT GENERAL

I don't like minecraft.

Idler: Which one was that again? That's the one with the dude in the top hat, right.

I don't think I ever finished that.

Idler · 2012-01-20 16:31:03

Yeah, the one where he makes copies of himself. I really liked it up until the end, which just pissed me off.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 16:32:54

What happened at the end? (Spoiler it if you need to)

Idler · 2012-01-20 16:33:45

How do I spoiler it?

Viani · 2012-01-20 16:39:56

white font text

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 16:40:21

hmm.

Type in white, I suppose.

(is this visible?)

Tachyon · 2012-01-20 16:41:59

Yes.

(But only if you highlight it. :p)

Idler · 2012-01-20 16:43:04

Okay, spoilers ahead: it turns out that the protagonist is actually in an insane asylum and the whole thing was his hallucination. Also he murdered the girl he was in love with. Before then it had been a beautiful, delicate study of grief and isolation, so to have it suddenly do two cliche psychological thriller endings at once was a bit much.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-20 16:43:53

Well that's.

dark.

Also pointless. Reminds me of the supposed canonical interpretation of Limbo's ending.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-02-02 20:17:41

So I found some games that look coolish.

First of these is suteF which I am downloading as we speak. It's a weird horror puzzler.

The second is a newgrounds flash game that reminds me a bit of Yume Nikki. It's called Looming.

The third is a Half-Life 2 mod (which I can unfortunately not acquire) called The Stanley Parable, which is possibly the most meta game I have ever seen.
