Very cool story idea and its definitely unnerving the first few times he appears.

Developer

Pretty creepy! The atmosphere is tense and the first couple times the dude appears is really jarring! Unfortunately, I was a little confused on how to progress, since everywhere I turned they seemed to spawn :c I would love to know how you made the pseudo-3D style, though - very impressive!

Developer

Thank you!

It may look complex, but this is actually classic tilemap-based raycasting, just implemented within 2D Godot. It’s not that hard to create if you roughly understand how it works

The game is indeed quite challenging (maybe I pushed it a bit too far), so I’m thinking about recording a full playthrough for players who might get stuck at certain points, to make the experience a bit more accessible

Thanks again for the feedback!
