23 Skidoo

Your grandmother defined the phrase 23 Skidoo like this: "When in doubt, get the hell out of here now."

You should have considered her words on your 10th birthday.

You remember that past incident where you trapped in a tiny building called the Place, You remember how a mysterious force from another dimension gave you a power of invincibility. Now, a week after your 23rd birthday, you return to the Place, and destroy it once it for all - only to be trapped again.  

All you need to do is make a series of certain action to put out the spell from the Place, and close the portal to another dimension.

However, would you sacrifice your own humanity for the power of invincibility, or preserve everything what makes you a human being?

Developer's commentary:

Finally get to make this under seven days. I was inspired by games that are known for their realism and difficulty such as Pathologic and KGB. So I made the most difficult game I could think by using a premise based on these two game jams' themes. Then it got very difficult that I have to dial it down, and dropped some hints along the way.

The game will randomly generate the main solution. You need to have a pen and paper lying around. But yous still can speedrun through this with a pure luck.

If the browser is not working for you, then you could download them if you want. I use Linux desktop, but Windows seems used commonly among gamers.
