recursively_misremembered

recursively_misremembered is an entry for #GameDev101Jam2, which had a theme of "LUCIDITY." It was made in Godot in about three to four days. I know it's tagged as "horror," but it's more... weird, not really scary so much.

This is version 1.01 (1.0 was never publicly released), which fixes a crash-inducing memory leak on Linux and contains a less ear-piercing scene transition sound.

Headphones warning: The default volume can be a bit high.

Controls:

• Walk with arrow keys or WASD
• Press K to interact with objects in the world (which you can do when an exclamation mark pops up)
• Use the mouse to navigate the dialogue system (or a combination of TAB/SHIFT-TAB, SPACEBAR and RETURN, but I don't recommend it)

Objective:

• Explore the rooms until you get to the end
• Read a lot of text probably
