In this game you take control of a brave failure of a dungeoneer and explore a very dark dungeon. Being in the dark slowly drains you and then kills you. Though it's not always bad. After all, Failure is Progress.

Hello there!

Welcome to my 2nd ever game jam game. I hope you enjoy playing it. I am very excited that I managed to finish this game even after having prior engagements that ate significantly into my time. Sorry for no Linux build yet, I need to install the correct module for it :P

Quite excited for the feedback. Thanks in advance!

CREDITS: The beautiful tileset you see is from opengameart.com: https://opengameart.org/content/deep-night-8x8-platformer-assets

Some of the sounds are also from there, but unfortunately I don't have the links, sorry :(

The player character and floaty orb spirit when you die thing are the only things I made in terms of art lol.

EDIT: Yes you can win this game. It's quite easy, really. ;P

*******************

SPOILER: To win the game, walk left and off the screen in the very first level, and keep walking left. It signifies you giving up and going home, so you win!
