Statement of self-evaluation on the game’s merit:

I am acutely aware of my lack of skill in both art and programming and so I wanted to be able to complete something within the scope of time I was given. I thought it would be reasonable to have a sort of horror aspect placed upon the original narrative clone through a narrative standpoint of adding both a ghost that follows you and will kill you if it gets close to you, as well as sound and visual design. I changed the characters to  be cult-looking, but having the player have some features that make them different. The idea was to d something within my range, so adding a sort of artifact that the player needed to retrieve made sense within the narrative and also was in the base game. I added that the ghost only spawned when the player took the ring as a sort of narrative idea, and then when players get to the shrine they return the ring, the ghost goes away since it is no longer angry. I think the game is good for what I know I am capable of and for how much time I had.
