FREEDOM: Diegesis

FREEDOM: Diegesis is a free 2D side-scroller with puzzle, adventure, and horror elements. It weaves a mysterious "show, don't tell" story through-out its gameplay mechanics.

STORY SET-UP:

This world was once a predictable place, where heroes stomped minions and rescued damsels. But now it is mutating into something much stranger. As a result the heroes are missing or unwilling, and the villains have huddled away searching for more from life.

The protagonist, a disgraced prisoner, finds himself in over his head amidst these changes. He's tasked with infiltrating the Eastern Lands and rescuing his kingdom's princess in exchange for freedom. But he's no warrior, and the world's mutation is spreading...

HOW TO PLAY:

Arrow keys to move, climb, or push.  
X to jump (or to let go of a ladder).  
C for actions/interactions.  
R to reset a level if you get stuck.  
W to switch toggle fullscreen (letterboxed).  
M to toggle muting of all audio, L to toggle half-volume mode.  
P to pause or unpause (this also opens a list of controls).  
F4 to exit the program.


Progress is auto-saved at title-cards between levels.  
Touching any enemy or hazard will kill you and reset the level.  
Watch out, its easy to get stuck in pits or puzzles. Look before you leap!  
You can try to collect all the coins and treasures, but why bother?
