Lights Out [RPG Horror Homage] [LD39] [Free]

#1 Post by Mikomi »

Rebecca was having a nice sleepover with her friends when suddenly the power goes out and they are attacked... by fairies?!

Play as Rebecca, a young girl trying to find her friends after the power goes out while avoiding a Dullahan in your house on "official business". However, as you explore the house with only a back-up generator working, you realize that there is only enough power to light one room at a time!

Features:
  • Custom tileset and art!
  • Storyline including Irish folklore!
  • One whole ending! (and maybe a few changes to the ending if you talk to a certain fairy enough)

Edit 9/14: The full version of the game is now finished! You can play the new version in browser on Itch.io and play the old Ludum Dare build in browser on Game Jolt and Newgrounds or download it on Itch.io.
The new version has a map double the size of the original, including swapped places (so if you played the LD build, you can play this one and won't know where everything is), new tilesets, new art, new characters, a puzzle, and a harder difficulty.


Where to Play:
  • Itch.io
  • Game Jolt
  • Newgrounds

    Jeeze, this is my 10th Ludum Dare game jam. Can't believe it's been that long already :"D Anyway, this is a sort of homage to RPG horror games- I've been hanging around RPG horror devs recently and I got inspired to make this in that style. This game is around 15 minutes long and you can play it in browser on multiple websites. I made this with RPG Maker MV, and as always with Ludum Dare, the entire game and all its assets were made in under 72 hours.

I really liked the idea of only one light being able to be lit at a time! And I like the atmosphere and art, it really did remind me of rpg horror games like ib and all...but I was disappointed that it didn't really matter? At least it didn't really play a role, in the game, I felt. I left all the lights off and still could finished the game and all. Great job on the game though for 3 days it's really amazing!

Thank you very much! Yes, I've gotten several complaints that the lights didn't seem to matter much- so, in my post-LD build I'll be making the game harder by making it extremely dark and adding a lot more content besides that.

I can't wait to play it! I would totally love to know more about the world you created with that game! <3 The ending made me want to know more about them.

It was a cool game, but I think my main problem was that there was very little to do since most of the rooms that I went to were empty. I'm guessing that you're going to be changing that based on your posts, though. I'll definitely revisit this game once it's been updated. c:

Rebecca had my favorite design, her hair ribbons were super cute.

Thank you very much! The new, finished version is now uploaded- I swapped some of the rooms around (including Bedelia's), added some thing in the older rooms, and made most of the new rooms more interesting (rather than all of them being bedrooms or have just a sofa in them) so I hope you like it more now!
