A downloadable game for Windows

Made for Mini Jam 122: Intermission with the Limitation: Losing is Good.

Losing is Good.

Losing the killer that is constantly chasing you with violent intents is, probably good.

Remember, this is just an exercise in futility.


Ran 10 minutes late because I struggled a lot with coming up on an idea that I was happy with, I prototyped like 7 different games before finally deciding to just DO it.

This game took exactly 20 hours to make.

Yes, I spent the rest of that 3 days period just coming up with an idea.

I guess that's also why I themed the game around futility, probably just some dumb reason to vent my own frustration and analysis paralysis, lmao.

Have fun!

Install instructions

Just run the executable.

Somewhere around gameplay, the file "run_state" will appear. That's the respawn checkpoints thing, don't mind it. It's not a virus.
