Miasma by Hemuuuli

[raw]
made by Hemuuuli for LD26 (COMPO)
You are wandering in the woods.
Looking for a safe place.
A home.

Miasma is dark and moody survival horror game that
includes:
- Resource gathering and crafting
- Dynamic weather, decided by gods
- God workshipping via sacrifices
- NPCs running in the woods

Post jam edits:
- Disable context menu in web player
- Optimized web player size from 60mb to 9mb

Quick start guide:
1) Your goal is to find your home, it is somewhere North.
2) Combine items to craft new items. For example: Grass + Grass = Grass idol, Stone + Branch = Knife.
3) Some resources like rock or cats require item.
4) Sacrifice stuff to gods to keep them happy & make weather better. They like idols the most.
I hope that helped!

Nice game, although on my computer (running linux), it is not a foggy as in your screenshots.

Sound interesting, I need to boot up my Ubuntu tomorrow and see how it looks and maybe patch it. The fog is big part of the experience.

This is the nicest looking entry I've seen so far. I love the colors. Really cool.

You win the mood category by a long way. :)

Interesting, though the gameplay mechanics are lost on me. I can't tell what it means to have what looks like a hand and a plus icon next to it? Does that mean "combine"? It's not clear.

Also, playing it via the web, right click ends up causing problems, as it wants to open the context menu for the unity plugin.

I hit F1 for help and it threw a russian page at me. Then I walked around for ages and got game over...

Really great atmosphere, but it's pretty damn confusing what to do, I got a knife and killed some animals but I keep dying from the rain or whatever it is.

Really nice, the audio especially completes the atmosphere. I really like how it looks in the dark distance. Really cool to see strange creatures appearing and disappearing. Only a few problems I see, sometimes the clicking seems unresponsive, I'm not sure if that was a problem on my end. Also, the rain particles move relative to the player, not the world, so that looks a bit odd.

A monotone "Don't Stave". Good work on the mood & audio.

Thanks for the kind comments. ^^
I tested the linux build and it looks great on that platform too. Maybe the screenshots are a bit muddy.
Relation of F1 and Russian page are still mystery to me. :D But the game is now on Kongergate with updated build so it should be gone.

The pixelated impostors enchanted me. The music and fog crept up on me. I read the help; I'm not sure how to get started with combining things. How would you feel about posting a newbie tutorial with step by step instructions in the description of how to get started?

Very confusing, but I think I started to get the hang of it. This game is so insanely atmospheric, though. Phenomenal. It was very hard to see, which got in the way a little bit, but also cranked the mood up to 11.

For some reason I don't want to sacrifice animals to... whatever...! Does PETA know about this ?!? :)

Beautiful and haunting. However, I could never quite tell what I was carrying, and what I could do with it. Maybe if there was a little display at the bottom showing what you were carrying, with some more obvious icons for what they were.
