Longer Description(SPOILERS)

It's a story about humanity, self reflection, cruelty and how easy to mislead a human for the "greater good". The player want to hunt down the evil, who lives in the old pyramid. In the meantime he choose to be ruthless, with destroying everything around him. In the end he realizes, that the only aberration in the land is him.

Game Development Notes

There are a bunch of things in my mind currently which drives the game in a way. All the things here are unsorted and are not necessarily tangled.

• The game is simply unfinished at the moment
• The player can't choose between paths currently
• There is no good path right now
• The good path could based on the ideology of peace. Not attacking anything could be beneficial.
• The player can move or throw a stone pellet. He can't do both at the same time.
• When a simple mob is eliminated, a rage shard is dropped. Currently it has no effect. It should increase hp, speed and attack. This is how the player becomes the aberration with unlimited stats.
• The player lives in a small village next to the forest.
• The player takes some narrative via the Elder in the campfire cut scenes
• The player should gather an artifact at the end of every stage. It's also part of becoming the aberration
• There are three main stages planned to acquire the necessary stats and artifacts
• There is a final boss stage in the end where you have to fight with the aberration
• Or where you realize what you did and flee (part of the good path)
• The barbados cherry is a reference to Acerola (thanks for hosting this game jam)
• It can be acquired from the first stage. You can find the tree at the bottom left corner. You can throw a stone to it and a cherry appears.
• When you use the cherry you get invincibility for a short amount of time
• All assets are created by myself
• I used Unity 2023.2, Aseprite and BandLab
• It was a lot of fun to create this game and I'm happy to have it as is
• I hope someone can find it interesting or funny.
• I would love to have your feedback
