The Beast of Oakenbrook

NOTE: If you get stuck while using the alchemy panel (as in, you can't close it), just save after you're done and then load and it'll be gone again :D (You can also press F5 to quicksave)

NOTE: I've disabled the WebGL build because the last resolution I locked it to cuts away some of the vital buttons further in the game :( Such is the way of game jams and bugs you don't notice when you upload late at night.

Short Dungeon Crawler created for the Dungeon Crawler Jam 2023, where the theme was "Duality". 

You are a village witch who wakes up alone and imprisoned by Beast Hunters. Escape the prison and save your little village from the beast that begun prowling the forests, all the while fighting the Hunters who, for some reason, think you're the one to blame...

The game is pretty short and the screenshots hide the UI for spoiler reasons :D

Had a lot of fun with this one. Each year I build upon the same "base gridder engine" I've built in Unity and each year I add more things to it and fix more things and try to bend it in different ways. Eventually, I'll probably have a decent dungeon crawler base, hah, but that moment is far away since I only work on it during these jams.

Have fun!
