Within Our Own Forgotten World

This game was created using GameMaker Studio 2 over a few weeks in June of 2021 for the Portland Indie Game Squad (PIGSquad) June Summer Slow Jam. The technical theme was "exploration" and the creative theme was "forgotten places"; my personal inspiration for this game was the concept of "map erasure" and to offer a memory challenge.

Note: this is a purely two player local game, so grab a nearby friend and enjoy playing against each other!

All necessary information to play is contained within the game; however, something not explicitly mentioned is my encouragement to "house rule" the experience if you find it too random or luck-based. A good starting point might be to allow both players to take shorthand, coded notes on a shared piece of paper; or perhaps grab some extra friends and play as a team game.

Player Input:

• Mouse (left-click) for most play elements
• F1 while on the main game screen for quick reminder info
• F5 to restart
• ESC to quit
