Sisyphus by sorceress
A first person game.
My interpretation of the theme this month is that of a minimalistic life, as suffered by Sisyphus of Greek Mythological fame.
My game adds a modern twist to that myth. ;-)
Controls are with mouse and keyboard:
-WASD or cursors to walk
-Mouse to turn, look, aim, and shoot
-Number keys to select inventory options.
-Spacebar to select menu options.
You will need to do some exploring to access the later parts of the game.
I hope you enjoy playing this, as I've certainly enjoyed making it!
Now I sleep ...zzzZZZ

edit: removed some debugging code that was interfering with the proper running of the game.

The zombies don't really have any AI so it just feels like I'm playing a hunting game more than anything else. I didn't take a single bit of damage. Maybe it gets better as you go? But it ramps up too slow I think and the days were tooooooo long, or at least there wasn't enough to do.
And I have to say this as a joke, with a tiny bit of truth to it, "yeah playing this game felt like eternal punishment." :P Overall, really really impressive technically, but just too dull to keep my attention for long enough to "finish" a never-ending game.
Nice Take on The Idea, is what I'm trying to say :P
gods are killing me XD
Amazing videogame to be made in 48h, really impressive the day/night cicle, and the concept is something like mixing dead island, minecraft and quake XD
Also, sometimes the parcels were quite tricky to find. Perhaps make a beacon from the sky come down to them so you know where you are?
But other than that, really cool game. I noticed that the zombie face textures were awesome, as well. The text and the story are interesting .The guns are cool. Overall, great, just a bit hampered by the long days.
Also.. Sisyphus? Not Tithonus?
