The Best of Me by zatyka
CONTROLS:
WASD to move.
Space bar to look at object.
Arrow keys to use skills as you acquire them.
R to go to the last checkpoint.
This was my 2nd time competing in Ludum Dare. The end result isn't at a level I had hoped, but the game feels "complete", and will hopefully keep you entertained. I had a blast, and will definitely participate again.
Thanks for playing, I hope you enjoy. I'd love to know how far you got.
FYI - At certain times in the game, all the action will freeze (including your controls) as important text is shown. My apologies regarding some of the dialog progressing slowly. I meant to add in a "next" button so you could read at your own pace, but ran out of time. Hopefully it doesn't deter you from finishing... the ending is probably my favorite part.
If you've got your first ability, but are not sure how to get out of the first room... scrolls down for the solution.
Look at the bars while in stealth mode.

Here's a hint. If your stealth power is on, the guards can't see you... which would make your cell look empty :)
I got as far as the four big guys.
@TwilightFlandre and prettymuchbryce - Understandable... I knew it would be a bit annoying. I wanted to add the ability to move forward and backwards through the dialog, but ran out of time.
@raincole - Probably a bug, but it shouldn't be game breaking.
@CoffeeOnimal - Thanks. The room with the 4 guys is the very last one.... you were so close to seeing the ending. Thanks for playing :)
@vandriver - There is a definitive ending. Sorry about the bug... especially because the ending is an important part of the story. I think I know the problem and will probably fix in a post compo version.
@ethankennerly - It's really up to the player to decide, but I certainly imagined him as a villain, who had done terrible things, but lived in denial of who he was. To be honest, I'm not sure what your second question is asking. If you'd provide some more, I'd be happy to answer... but I'm not planning on developing the game further.
