Back Rooms: Ground ZERO (demo)
About
This is a Demo
Traverse the backrooms like it's 1986, in my game inspired by Famicom visual novels and adventure games.
Move room to room, in hopes of finding anything. And discover if there was ever a way out to begin with.
Game Play:
You will select your actions in the menu
- [Move] will let you move to another room.
- [Inspect] lets you take a closer at things, and lets you scavenge for items.
- [Interact] Allows you to ether; Talk, Take, or Hit objects.
Lore:
This is my own lore being that these "backrooms" is the very labyrinth that were made by Daedalus to trap the Minotaur.
Future Additions:
RNG Modifiers:
There is code for a mechanic in the game that allows you to effect the RNG of what you can find in rooms, by increasing a counter for each direction you go. The mechanic will effect the next room's roll for each digit of the room number, that each counter is lower than.
- Going Right effects the chance of finding items in objects.
- Going Left effects the chance to find objects in rooms.
- Going forward will randomly multiply the amount of both Left and Right's Counter.
It was disable for this version cause if you have a good grasp on it than the game will become way easier, but I'm planning of having it be enabled for another game mode you'll be able to select.
More Floors:
Right now there are 2 floors, 0:The Yellow halls 1:The attic. I'm planning on adding three more floors 2-4, With each floor having it own mechanic and things to find to traverse to the next floor. And there will be traveling back and forth between floors.
Skills:
This was left over from my original idea of having this be a starving to death simulator, which would have been faithful to the original Backrooms post. I will be replacing this with "Advancements"(not final name) to show you all the key items and secrets you've found in your current round.
Crafting:
You will be able craft, both in the "Advancements" menu, and on objects you find. The first to be added in the future will be; if you have bottled water and a pack of ramen you will be able to cook it on a stove top to make cooked ramen.
High Score Screen:
At the end of every round you will get a score for everything you've done; Items found, how many times you've went each direction, ect.
