About

Welcome to the page for my Scream Jam 2020 entry, Impostor.

This is a short horror-themed game I created for the jam! :3 

You come home from a long day at work to find your partner cooking dinner for you, but something isn't quite right...

Features:
  • Choose your partner and pick from 2 different male or female voices
  • Gender-neutral (your partner will refer to you as 'they/them')
  • Timed choices + regular choices
  • Full voice acting (playing with headphones is recommended due to some 3D audio aspects)
  • 5 endings (3 'good' + 2 'bad')
Warnings:

Please note that due to the nature of the game, there are some things that people may find upsetting or disturbing, such as:

  •  Swearing/bad language 
  • Depictions of blood
  • General psychological horror themes.

This game is designed to be a present for the Halloween season and will be free to download until midnight (GMT) on 31st October. After that, it will be available to purchase for $2. 

Helpful Hint:

If replaying the game from the beginning in order to see all the different endings is too tedious, you can press the S key at most points in the game to save :3 Then you can reload and play from there. Sadly, if you save near to or during a timed choice, it can sometimes result in a bugged save, that when loaded, will cause the game to become very laggy for some reason >.<

Other Stuff:

There are probably some little bugs since I haven't had time to do extensive testing due to the submission deadline for the jam. I will post about any bugs I find when I get a chance. If you happen to spot any that I haven't listed, please let me know so I can add them + fix them :3 I don't have a mac to test on, so I have literally no idea if the mac version even runs >.< I know mac + Tyrano don't like each other very much though :( I know that using the skip text function can cause issues/crashing! Also, messing about with the volume controls in config can result in odd volume levels... I dunno why, I use Tyrano's default config options but they must be broken. I don't think quicksave or quickload work either for some reason (another Tyrano thing I dunno how to fix!)

Some jam feedback has mentioned that the shower scene + some of the transitions at a certain point in the game could do with being sped up, so I will make sure to do that once the jam is finished :3

I also want to say a huge thanks to the voice actors for volunteering their talent to help bring this project to life :D

I hope you enjoy the game! Happy Halloween \^_^/
