Ghost Frame 1D

Explore the lakeside manor to find your missing friend Ashley!

Made for Blackthornprod Game Jam with theme "Less is More".

This game is an experimental 1-D riff on Fatal Frame.  I decided for the "Less is More" theme to approach it with the idea of "fewer spatial dimensions means you have to use your imagination more". Normally, this concept applies with 2D games, but I thought it might be fun to take things one step further. Unfortunately, I only had the weekend to do any work on this and I found quickly that there was more potential here than I had time to deliver on in that time. Consider this a proof of concept. Leave a comment if you'd like to see this expanded it. Maybe I'll revisit it sometime after my current side-project, although I'll probably try to riff on Faith by Airdorf instead if I try the whole 1-D horror thing again.
