The Price of a Life by JohnyF

[raw]
made by JohnyF for LD 44 (JAM)

LudumDare 44 Game! Theme: Your life is currency.

Backstory: You and your sister are the last of your clan. Since the loss of your family in childhood, you have always been together and helped each other in dangerous and ridiculous situation. One day you noticed that your sister is looking sick. She would only get worse and worse. The Court Wizard (a friend of yours that you helped once) said that it's an ancient curse and he has no power against it. Your sister has only a few days left, but you decided to do, probably, the most desperate thing in your life, the blood trade. Your clan was known for trading those who live for those who died, in exchange of their souls. You prepared all the items and made the first cut. Your blood spills on the ground as a mysterious figure appears from the dark. You can feel it's blood thirst. The one names himself the Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! Feared but determined​ you accept the trade. Your sister instantly became healthy, but your powers are leaving you. One last hug from your beloved sister and you dive into the Abyss, where lost souls seek endlessly. But something does not feel right, the Death, it did not leave you, yet. There it stays in front of you. He gives you to options, to enter the Abyss and join the others, or entertain him a bit, and try to fight for your miserable life...

Nice game. Graphics are very nice, I love that is animated, not like other games. Also musics sounds good.Controls are a bit hard (took 3 runs to understand how it works). Also this game fits the theme.I enjoyed playing it and it was pretty funny . Good job! I hope to see more games made by you in the future!

Visually - very cool! Skeleton animations are super cool. But the management is super not convenient, just hard. The idea is cool. Thanks for playing)
