Harold's Harrowing Heroics

Unfortunately, we were so tired when uploading the game that we uploaded the wrong build! We are very sorry for the confusion. The current build on this site has a slim chance of crashing between the tutorial and the first level. It does not crash every time! Again, we are very sorry and will upload the correct build after the jam voting period ends to stay fair to the other competitors. The game plays best through the Oculus Quest 1/2 and Steam/Windows Mixed Reality software.
