Hi fellow Game Devs and Jammers,
for this jam I embraced the Lore of the Pagan Folks to formulate a game thatputs the focus on Lore, Story anda long forgotten culture. HALLOWEEN is rooted in the Pagan ccelebration called SAMHAIN - thelast day of harvest and the day when it was believed that the veil between SPIRIT and PHYSICAL world is the thinnest. On this day the Pagan Volks lit a huge bonfire and dressed up scary to scare off evil spirits.
In SAMHAIN: Wrath of Wendigo you are sent into the woods to encounter a spirit, the WENDIGO who is the guardian of the balance of the forests flora and fauna and he i not happy with the humans cutting down forests and trating the woods like it serves them, not respecting the need of balance.
Luckily the shaman of your village is with you and helps you to perform ancient rituals to soothe the wrath of wendigo. Solve puzzles designed around a mystic mix of viking and pagan runestones and beliefs to show Wendigo you understand him and know how to change to make him spare the people of your village.
I will be very happy and glad if you give this jump into a new world based on real life culture of halloween a chance and enjoy the puzzles. The game can be played: HERE.
See you there!
