Dahra

A game prototype made for the Gothic Novel Jam in July 2018. You can download and play it HERE.

Inspired by gothic horror novels, we wanted to make a game in which players wander through a typical gothic manor while feeling lost and threatened. The game is seen in a top-down view, with only two sources of light : lightning from outside the manor and a waning candle held by the player character. The gameplay is about finding keys to open doors, while also keeping the candle lit to avoid being assaulted by ghosts.

This is really nothing more than a prototype, as it is in a really unfinished state with no end except death. We didn't have time to do a lot of tests so the difficulty isn't balanced. We didn't have time to implement the story either, though we're planning to complete it eventually.

Controls
WASD : movement
E : pickup objects/open doors
