The Agency by Democritus

[raw]
made by Democritus for LD31 (JAM)
Use left- and right-arrow and A/D to move left or right. Press space to jump. We suggest you play the downloadable version. Either way, don't give up if you're stuck.

Jane is what the Agency calls an 'Underground guardian'.
She has her own word for it, which is rather less PG.
It's her job to check for problems in the Underground
railway. Though what those might be is anyone's guess.


Until one day she finds an unexpected hole that might
take her deeper than anyone has ever gone, and show her
things that might be hidden for a reason.

Done. Sorry about that. I had the itch link still on private from when I set up the page. Fixed now.

Very atmospheric, I enjoyed the story and voice-over :) Controls were a bit weird though - sometimes got stuck in tight areas and would have to mash jump before it would let me proceed, and jumping didn't work all the time.

Not sure about the aim? What is the game about? Just going deeper? Randomly walking left or right? Anyways, nice Graphic-style, great music and a tense atmossphere :)

Well if you go down for a while you'll find out what it's about. Might be that we placed that a bit too far down but nothing I can do about it now.

It was really interesting to be guided by your voice, and the world was really mysterious. Then when voice stopped I felt a little scared, but I continue to go because I wanted to see what is below there. I got stuck at the first doors I believe, I cannot find the key, and I am type of player that doesn't take walkthroughs for solutions. Anyway, awesome job, I would love to see more !

If you're stuck, you should try the help from the menu ;)

Amazing game. I loved the use of the theme. I am sad that you took so long to introduce it, since it seems like some people won't give enough time to figure it out.

Yeah, this is one of the things I think was a bit of a mistake. We should have gotten the player there quicker, and with fewer dead-ends.

Also the dead-ends were supposed to provide audio entertainment but we didn't really get to put anything there.

Nice game, maybe a little too long. I was about to give up until I found out Esc was a map, you should put that somewhere.
The music can get a bit repetitive, but not very fast. And some voice lines are too long.
