Pageturner

Join Aviena and Borbu on their journey to Harmonia in this adorable interactive narrative with a roguelike twist.

 

Set in the pages of a book and played through whimsical illustrations, you choose how Aviena and Borbu will tackle their challenges! Aviena and Borbu gain modifiers based on your choices, and those modifiers help you in the minigames that follow. If you succeed or fail, your path branches on your journey to Harmonia.

 

Epic Megajam 2021

The game was made in 7 days for the Epic Megajam 2021, with the theme “Running out of space”.

Running Out of Space

This game tackles the theme in two ways; the narrative and the reoccurring mechanic.

After you make your choice and the minigame begins, the page slowly fills with the words of the story – giving you less and less space to complete your task, akin to a battle royale arena.

 

Controls

Play pageturner with your keyboard using WASD and SPACE.
