Eurydice by AnnaGavaldaKedavra

[raw]
made by AnnaGavaldaKedavra for LD25 (COMPO)
What happened to Eurydice after Orpheus looked back at her?

How could he have saved her?

And how can you win the game?


ZQSD to move

It's my first game ever, i wanted 30 more screens but not enough time. Same for the sound.

I have no idea what I did, until I came into the endless corridor and killed myself :?? very strange game oO

But as a hint: why not arrow keys? But the BGRs looked nice

It's the interactive story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus

At first you are Orpheus, followed by Eurydice to get out of hell.

If you look back, as in the legend, Eurydice disapear.
It means you, the player, is responsible for it by interact with the game (also it explain why that STUPID STUPID Orpheus looked back).


Then You play Eurydice.

You can save Eurydice. BUT you can also win the game.

I didn't really get this at first but after playing another few times I really like it. Very original idea.

It's kinda like Terry Cavanagh's game, Don't Look Back, but this one is on acid or something. :)
Props for the graphics and overall mood of the game, but I'm not even going to pretend that I fully understood what was going on.

:) Yeah i didn't have time to put a quite important screen so you may win even if you don't understand nothing.

Not entirely sure if it fits the theme as Orpheus was just stupid when he looked back . I kind of like how you have to lose the game to play Eurydice but found the controls really confusing.

Do nothing: win, maybe
Press left: lose, escape: slide show, hold escape: win

More an art piece / statement than a game, finish it and show us the full vision.
