Project Fireball (itch)
About
In 2874, the Order of Xilkhuun has adopted a new law to prevent the death of good soldiers since the decline. Instead, criminals are given excessive sentences, then sent to clear obscure and perilous missions.
This is the first escape room online with role-playing features, we created this game for IGMC 2017, however; not only did we love developing it, we found it to be a lot of fun! The ideas kept flowing and the possibilities are endless, we really hope you enjoy it.
With only 30 days at hand for the contest, this'll come out as a prototype. You have access to the first part of a mission involving the chilling headquarters of the renown researcher, Colter Lyman. The mission requires 3 players! we made it easy for you to meet people in the lobby, create and join games.
The good news is, with your support, during the contest we will complete the entire mission with over an hour of exciting co-op play and upload it once we are allowed to edit our submissions, after the contest.
Keep in mind, currently rooms require 3 players and there is no way to reconnect to an existing game. To avoid from causing any re-connection issues we force close the game so you can come back, and join a new one safely. We worked very hard to create this game and there are elements that realistically require more time and resources.
This was one of our greatest challenges and an amazing experience, we'd do it again and again!
