Purgatorio by moonkid
** Purgatorio was one of the picks in Rock, Paper, Shotgun's round-up of LD. Thanks Adam! http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/04/30/tiny-world-tour-ludum-dare-23/ **
My only plan coming into LD23 was to draw a rectangular, pixel-art kiwi (the bird, not the fruit). It really didn't look like a kiwi in the end, but that's okay, because I like it. And hey, I made some kind of a game for it to live in!
The game itself is semi-autobiographical, and attempts to equate mental health issues with biblical concepts. It's built in AGS (Adventure Game Studio), as I'm not much of a coder. So it's a very non-traditional point-and-click game - no inventory, and only one puzzle: how to get the hell outta there!
** Make sure you use "winsetup.exe" to set it to run in a window, unless you want to be truly frightened! **

It's always hard to write game stories. You've done excellent job.
I like the kiwi design.
W E I R D!
Very fun though! Immediately after he said 'anyone to your right is full of crap' I tried going to his right side and talking to him from there. XD
Really enjoyed all the dialogue. :P An interesting story!
Well done!
On my first try I managed it in around 15, but from that I figured out how to beat it in 7.
Well, there is work, yes ... and it's ... well ... atypical so i think i can say "it's a cool game"
Nice work on the dialogue :)
I just reached a dead end, don't know what to do...sadly.
And yes, it's weird. Glad everyone agrees on that ;) Thanks for all the praise, though!
Anyway, I like the graphics, and this game is definitely unique :-)
